Modelling of the Influence of Creep Strains on the Fire Response of Stationary Heated Steel Members

N. Torić, A. Harapin, I. Boko

The paper presents an application of a newly developed implicit procedure for including steel creep strain into structural fire analysis through modelling a series of stationary…

Mechanical Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete with Different Mineral Aditives After High Temperature Exposure

Marija Jelcic Rukavina, Dubravka Bjegovic, Ivan Gabrijel

This paper presents an experimental research on the performance of high-strength selfcompacting concrete (SCC) with different mineral additives after exposure to high temperatures…

FDS Versus En-Models: A Comparison between the Heskestad Model from EN and CFD Results

Tom Molkens

Since FDS simulations of real fire scenarios are time-consuming, parametric studies are to be avoided, and it is worth investigating whether an alternative analytical model can…

Tensile Behaviour of Galvanised Grade 8.8 Bolt Assemblies in Fire

Lucy Bull, Eric J. Palmiere, Richard P. Thackray, Ian W. Burgess, Buick Davison

In structural fire engineering, the importance of bolt assemblies is often overlooked. Connection design uses the temperature-dependent bolt strength-reduction factors prescribed…

Robustness of the Vesuvian Roofs Under the Combined Overload and High Temperatures Due to Air Falls

Beatrice Faggiano, Antonio Formisano, Federico M. Mazzolani

During an explosive eruption, a construction is hit by several actions, always associated to elevated temperatures, causing fires, possible explosions and reduction of the…

Lateral Torsional-Buckling of Class 4 Steel Plate Beams at Elevated Temperature: Experimental and Numerical Comparison

Martin Prachar, Michal Jandera, Frantisek Wald, Bin Zhao

This paper presents ongoing research in behaviour of laterally unrestrained beams (I or H section) of Class 4 cross-sections at elevated temperatures, which is based on the RFCS…
