Residual properties of normal-strength concrete subjected to fire and sustained elevated temperatures: A comparative study

Sachin V., N. Suresh

Concrete is a widely used construction material which can be prepared using locally available resources (aggregates, cement and water) by following relevant standard guidelines…

Fire resistance of corroded high-strength structural concrete

Khaled Sobhan, Dronnadula V. Reddy, Fernando Martinez

The exposure of reinforced concrete structures such as high-rise residential buildings, bridges and piers to saline environments, including exposure to de-icing salts, increases…

Lateral deformation behavior of eccentrically loaded slender RC columns with different levels of rotational end restraint at elevated temperatures

Khaled Ahmed Mahmoud

In literature, previous studies have focused on analyzing rienforced concrete (RC) columns with idealized end conditions when subjected to fire. In nature, full fixity or free…

Numerical modelling of changes of pressure inside the protected room during fighting the fire using carbon dioxide

Sylwia Boroń

This paper aims to study and assess a new approach for prediction of changes of pressure during gas discharge inside the room protected by fixed gaseous extinguishing system by…

How bracing and heating regimes influence the fire performance of composite frames

Oliver Bahr

Unbraced one-bay composite frames are an interesting load-bearing structure for buildings with up to three storeys. However, their fire design is demanding given the lack of…

Performance-based design of RC beams using an equivalent standard fire

Robert Kuehnen, Maged Youssef, Salah El-Fitiany

The design of buildings for fire events is essential to ensure occupant safety. Supplementary to simple prescriptive methods, performance-based fire design can be applied to…

Progressive collapse behavior of reinforced concrete frame exposed to high temperature

Parthasarathi N., Satyanarayanan K.S.

Technological innovations in the construction field correspond to a wider revolution in metropolitan life and in structural design. With the demand for advanced concrete…
