Computational simulation of steel moment frame to resist progressive collapse in fire

Ha Nguyen, Ann E. Jeffers, Venkatesh Kodur

This paper aims to address a need for improving the structural resilience to multi-hazard threats including fire and progressive collapse caused by the loss of a column.

Temperature analysis of extended end plate joints to square CFST columns in fire

Jing-feng Wang, Hai-Tao Wang, Wei-Wei Shi, Hong-Yu Sheng

This paper aims to obtain fire resistance of semi-rigid joints for concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) composite frames and temperature filed distribution of composite joints in…

Fire performance of single plate shear connections in a composite floor

Serdar Selamet, Caner Bolukbas

This paper aims to present a numerical investigation on the fire performance of a single plate shear connection in a steel-framed composite floor. Large-scale fire experiments…

Explosive spalling of ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete beams under fire

C. Kahanji, F. Ali, A. Nadjai

The purpose of the study was to investigate the spalling phenomenon in ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams on exposure to a standard fire curve (ISO…

Fire performance, including the cooling phase, of structural glued laminated timber beams

H. Kinjo, T. Hirashima, S. Yusa, T. Horio, T. Matsumoto

Based on heating tests and load-bearing fire tests, this paper aims to discuss the charring rate, the temperature distribution in the section and the load-bearing capacity of…

Behaviour and resistance of cold-formed steel beams with lipped channel sections under fire conditions

Flávio Arrais, Nuno Lopes, Paulo Vila Real

Steel beams composed of cold-formed sections are common in buildings because of their lightness and ability to support large spans. However, the instability phenomena associated…

Experimental and numerical study on the fire response of cold-formed steel beams with elastically restrained thermal elongation

Luis Laím, João Paulo C. Rodrigues

This paper is mainly aimed at the structural performance of compound cold-formed galvanised steel beams under fire conditions based on the results of a large programme of…
