Strength and microstructure characteristics of concrete with different grade exposed to standard fire

Daniel Paul Thanaraj, Anand N., Prince Arulraj

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of standard fire on the strength and microstructure properties of concrete with different strength grades.

Transient creep analytical modeling for shear endplate assemblies in fire

Hadi O. Al Haddad, Elie G. Hantouche

The purpose of this study is to develop an analytical model that is capable of predicting the behavior of shear endplate beam-column assemblies when exposed to fire, taking into…

How does concrete strength affect the fire resistance?

Eva Lubloy

The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of concrete strength on the fire resistance of structures. At first, it may seem contradictory that higher concrete strengths…

Collapse comparison of offshore platforms before and after fire using plastic analysis and genetic algorithm

Mohammad Mehdi Pouria, Abbas Akbarpour, Hassan Ahmadi, Mohammad Reza Tavassoli, Amir Saedi Daryan

Offshore structures are among the structures exposed to fire more often. Most of these structures are likely to be associated with flammable materials. In this research, some of…

Interaction diagrams and failure criteria for RC columns subjected to high temperature

Khaled Ahmed Mahmoud

Previous works in constructing interaction diagrams have only focused on incorporating transient creep strain implicitly in the ultimate limit strain. The present paper aims to…

Life safety in single-story steel frame buildings, Part II - probabilistic design

Joakim Sandström

This paper aims to investigate the probability of unacceptable consequences from structural fire damage in a typical Scandinavian single-story steel frame building and discusses…

Fire resistance of the vertical glass structures with thermal protection foil

András Jakab, Viktor Hlavicka, Ágoston Restás, Eva Lubloy

During the building designing, it is very important to deal with the fire resistance of the structures. The designed materials for escape routes should be selected to ensure the…
