Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Steel Profiles with Intumescent Coating Adjacent to Space-Enclosing Elements in Fire

Peter Kraus, Martin Mensinger, Florian Tabeling, Peter Schaumann

In this paper, the research program “Optimized use of intumescent coating systems on steel members” is presented. The aim of the project is to quantify the influence of…

Development of a General Component-Based Connection Element for Structural Fire Engineering Analysis

Gang Dong, Ian Burgess, Buick Davison, Ruirui Sun

This paper reports on the development of a general-purpose Eurocode-compliant component-based connection finite element for steel-to-steel joints in fire. The development begins…

Balcony Effect on the External Fire Spread into Upper Floors

Humberto J. L. Morgado, João P. C. Rodrigues

This paper presents the results of an investigation on the balcony effect of the fire spread, via external windows, into upper floors. Several natural fire tests were carried out…

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Reactive Fire Protection Systems Applied to Solid Steel Rods in Tension

Dustin Häßler, Sascha Hothan

The application of intumescent coatings for fire protection of steel constructions is increasing. Thanks to the relative thin thickness of the coatings, the typical visual…
