Modelling the Fire Resistance of Prestressed Concrete Floors using Multi-Spring Connection Elements
Jeong-Ki Min, Rajesh Dhakal, Peter Moss, Andrew Buchanan, Anthony AbuThe fire resistance of precast prestressed concrete floor systems is heavily influenced by the end connections and the stiffness of the surrounding structure, both of which must…
Numerical Analysis and Comparative Study of the Cross-Sectional Capacity of Structural Steel Members in Fire
Markus Knobloch, Diego Somaini, Jacqueline Pauli, Mario FontanaThe cross-sectional capacity of steel sections subjected to fire is strongly affected by the decreasing stiffness during heating and the nonlinear stress-strain relationship of…
Behavior of Circular Reinforced Concrete Columns Under Fire Conditions
Nikhil Raut, Venkatesh KodurA numerical model was developed for tracing the behavior of circular reinforced concrete (RC) columns over the entire range of loading from pre-fire conditions to collapse under…
Using Opensees for Structures in Fire
Asif Usmani, Jian Zhang, Jian Jiang, Yaqiang Jiang, Ian MayIn this paper we report the progress of our work so far on extending of the OpenSees framework so that it can be used to model structures subjected to fire. The work has focussed…
Advanced Finite Element Modelling of Flexible End-Plate Beam-to-Column Joints in Fire
Khalifa Al-Jabri, Farooq Al-JahwariThis paper presents a finite element analysis procedure developed to study the behavior of a flexible end-plate connection between steel beams and a column at elevated…
Experimental Research on the Load-Bearing Capacity of Partially Encased Steel Columns Under Fire Conditions
António Correia, João Rodrigues, Manfred KorzenThe composite steel and concrete columns are known to have enhanced fire behaviour when compared with bare steel columns. However there are still aspects that must be clarified…
Explosive Spalling of Concrete Columns with Steel and Polypropylene Fibres Subjected To Severe Fire
P. Doherty, F. Ali, A. Nadjai, S. ChoiThe exposure of concrete elements to high temperatures during fire can cause major risk to life safety and to the serviceability of a building. One of the main reasons for this is…
