Some considerations on shear and torsion in R/C structural members in fire

Patrick Bamonte, Pietro G. Gambarova, Nataša Kalaba, Sergio Tattoni

This study aims to provide a factual justification of the extension to fire conditions of the well-known design models for the calculations of R/C members at the ultimate limit…

Response of fire exposed composite girders under dominant flexural and shear loading

Mohannad Naser, Venkatesh Kodur

This paper aims to present results from numerical studies on the response of fire exposed composite girders subjected to dominant flexural and shear loading. A finite…

Development of wood structural elements for fire resistant buildings

Hirokazu Ohashi, Shinya Igarashi, Tsutomu Nagaoka

As forestry contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gases by CO₂ fixation, in recent years, use of wood in buildings has attracted all over the world more attention. However…

Behavior of structural tunnel elements exposed to fire and mechanical loading

Matthias Siemon, Jochen Zehfuß

Incidents like the fire in the Channel Tunnel, where severe concrete spalling was determined, have led to requirements in limiting the spalling depth and involved zone to local…

Experimental and numerical investigations of the composite behaviour in concrete-filled tubular columns with massive steel core at high temperatures

Peter Schaumann, Inka Kleibömer

This paper deals with experimental and numerical investigations of the composite behaviour within concrete-filled tubular columns with embedded massive steel core (CFTES columns)…

Effect of different additives on high temperatures of concrete

Hassan A.M. Mhamoud, Jia Yanmin

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of different additives (individual effects) in improving the strength of concrete to resist temperatures of up to 60ºC.
