Experimental and numerical investigation of post-tensioned concrete flat slabs in fire

Ya Wei, Francis T.K. Au, Jing Li, Neil C.M. Tsang

This paper aims to understand the structural fire performance of two-way post-tensioned flat slabs, particularly their deformations and load-carrying mechanisms in fire, and to…

Results and analysis of a large-scale fire test on a multi-bay composite steel-frame floor system

David J. Proe

This paper aims to facilitate verification of computer modelling techniques for complex structures exposed to fire and to test the effect of some steel beams being left…

Experimental tests and numerical modelling on slender steel columns at high temperatures

Jean-Marc Franssen, Bin Zhao, Thomas Gernay

The purpose of this paper is to gain from experimental tests an insight into the failure mode of slender steel columns subjected to fire. The tests will also be used to validate a…

Fire resistance tests on timber beam-to-column shear connections

Pedro Palma, Andrea Frangi, Erich Hugi, Paulo Cachim, Helena Cruz

This paper aims to present the results of an extensive experimental programme on the fire behaviour of timber beam-to-column shear connections, loaded perpendicularly to the grain.

Experimental study of post-fire performance of high-strength bolts under combined tension and shear

Anne Kawohl, Jörg Lange

This study aims to verify whether the reduction factors for the post-fire performance of Grade 10.9 bolts stated in an earlier study at the TU Darmstadt are also valid for shear…

Interactive shear resistance of corrugated web in steel beam exposed to fire

Mariusz Marcin Maslak, Marcin Lukacz

The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss in detail the design approach to shear buckling resistance evaluation for corrugated web being a part of a steel beam exposed…
