Finite element analysis of tension-loaded ASTM A325 bolts under simulated fire loading

Ali Shrih, Adeeb Rahman, Mustafa Mahamid

Nuts and bolts have been used as fasteners of steel structures for many years. However, these structures remain susceptible to fire damage. While conducting fire experiments on…

Influence of high temperature on the stability performance of high density polyethylene and crumb rubber powder modified HMA mixture

Hussein Adam Abdalla Gibreil, Cheng Pei Feng

In high-temperature regions (tropical regions) temperatures rises in summer, which affects the performance of asphalt pavement. Therefore, we must consider the conditions of…

Predicting the behavior of welded angle connections in fire using artificial neural network

Amir Saedi Daryan, Mahmood Yahyai

This paper aims to predicting the behavior of welded angle connections (moment-rotation-temperature) in fire using artificial neural network 10.

Experimental validation of the damage-plasticity modeling concept for normal strength concrete in fire

Martin Neuenschwander, Claudio Scandella, Markus Knobloch, Mario Fontana

This paper aims to investigate with strain-rate controlled uniaxial cyclic compression tests the softening behavior of concrete and its elastic stiffness degradation with…

Simulation of charring depth of timber structures when exposed to non-standard fire curves

Jean-Christophe Mindeguia, Guillaume Cueff, Virginie Dréan, Gildas Auguin

The fire resistance of wooden structures is commonly based on the calculation or measurement of the char layer. Designers usually estimate the char layer at the surface of a…

Advanced analyses of the membrane action of composite slabs under natural fire scenarios: A case study of the JTI headquarters

Lorenzo Lelli, Jonas Loutan

This paper aims to detail the advanced natural fire simulations that were carried out for the composite steel-reinforced concrete structure of the JTI Building in Geneva…
