Extension of the Zone Method of Eurocode 2 for reinforced concrete columns subjected to standard fire

Marcus Achenbach, Guido Morgenthal

The purpose of this paper is to develop a method suitable for the design of reinforced concrete columns subjected to a standard fire.

On the plastic moment-shear interaction curves of steel sections under fire

Mahmud M.S. Dwaikat

Different approaches, originally developed for ambient conditions, exist in current codes and standards for incorporating the effect of moment–shear (M–V) interaction on the…

Ductile cement-based spray-applied fire-resistive materials

Qian Zhang, Victor C. Li

Spray-applied fire-resistive materials (SFRMs) are the most commonly used passive fire protection for steel structure in the USA. However, they are often called into question…

Fire resistance of primary beam – secondary beam connections in timber structures

Veronika Hofmann, Martin Gräfe, Norman Werther, Stefan Winter

This paper deals with the fire resistance of primary and secondary beam connections in timber structures.

Composite beams under fire loading: numerical modeling of behavior

Kristi L. Selden, Amit H. Varma

The purpose of this study was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) finite element modeling (FEM) technique using the commercially available program ABAQUS to predict the thermal…

Numerical simulation of the heating behaviour of steel profiles with intumescent coating adjacent to trapezoidal steel sheets in fire

Peter Schaumann, Florian Tabeling, Waldemar Weisheim

This paper aims to present numerical investigations regarding the heating behaviour of steel elements protected by an intumescent coating with an adjacent trapezoidal steel sheet.

Performance assessment on high strength steel endplate connections in fire

Xuhong Qiang, Xu Jiang, Frans Bijlaard, Henk Kolstein

This paper aims to investigate and assess a perspective of combining high-strength-steel endplate with mild-steel beam and column in endplate connections.
