The DELTA® beam composite floor system is a recently developed shallow floor type that has seen many applications in contemporary construction. It involves partially encasing…

Investigating the fire performance of LSF wall systems using finite element analyses

Mohamed Rusthi, Poologanathan Keerthan, Mahen Mahendran, Anthony Ariyanayagam

This research was aimed at investigating the fire performance of LSF wall systems by using 3-D heat transfer FE models of existing LSF wall system configurations.

Behavior of ASTM A325 bolts under simulated fire conditions: experimental investigation

Ali Shrih, Adeeb Rahman, Mustafa Mahamid

Heavy hex structural bolts have been used in a wide range of steel structures for many years. However, these structures remain susceptible to fire damage. Conducting fire…

The ability of high performance concrete to resist high temperature

Hassan A.M. Mhamoud, Jia Yanmin

This study aims to focus on the resistance to elevated temperatures of up to 700ºC of high-performance concrete (HPC) compared to ordinary Portland concrete (OPC) with regards to…

Thermal behaviour of unstressed and stressed high strength concrete containing polypropylene fibers at elevated temperature

Duncan Cree, Prosper Pliya, Mark F. Green, Albert Noumowé

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate high strength concrete (HSC) containing polypropylene fibers (PP-fibers) at high temperature under a compressive load.

Mechanical properties of low-strength concrete at exposure to elevated temperatures

Muhammad Masood Rafi, Tariq Aziz, Sarosh Hashmat Lodi

This paper aims to present the results of testing of low-strength concrete specimens exposed to elevated temperatures. These data are limited in the existing literature and do not…

Effect of different air settings over fire-induced condition in a stairwell

Aristides Lopes da Silva, Shengwu Xiong, Hussain Aamir

This work aims to report the effect of different inlet air velocity settings, and the position of the inlet areas under fire-induced conditions in stairwells.
