Quantification of the reliability of concrete slabs subjected to natural fires designed using tabulated values according to Eurocodes

Marcus Achenbach, Guido Morgenthal

The design check regarding the fire resistance of concrete slabs can be easily performed using tabulated values. These tables are based on experimental results, but the level of…

Influence of elevated temperature on buckling capacity of mild steel-based cold-formed steel column sections– experimental investigation and finite element modelling

Varun Sabu Sam, M.S. Adarsh, Garry Robson Lyngdoh, Garry Wegara K. Marak, N. Anand, Khalifa Al-Jabri, Diana Andrushia

The capability of steel columns to support their design loads is highly affected by the time of exposure and temperature magnitude, which causes deterioration of mechanical…

Effect of cavity radiation on aluminium hollow tubes and facade system subjected to fire

Dravesh Yadav, Ravi Sastri Ayyagari, Gaurav Srivastava

This paper numerically investigates the effect of cavity radiation on the thermal response of hollow aluminium tubes and facade systems subjected to fire.

Assessment of critical parameters affecting the behaviour of bearing reinforced concrete walls under fire exposure

Maha Assad, Rami Hawileh, Ghada Karaki, Jamal Abdalla, M.Z. Naser

This research paper aims to investigate reinforced concrete (RC) walls' behaviour under fire and identify the thermal and mechanical factors that affect their performance.

Post-fire behavior of geopolymer concrete with sodium silicate waste as an alternative to conventional river sand

Balamurali Kanagaraj, N. Anand, Johnson Alengaram, Diana Andrushia

The present work focuses on evaluating the physical and mechanical characteristics of geopolymer concrete (GPC) by replacing the sodium silicate waste (SSW) in place of…

Effect of the elevated temperature on the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete using fly ash and ground granulated blast slag

Bheem Pratap, Pramod Kumar

To investigate the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete at elevated temperatures.

Investigation on performance of prestressed hollow core slabs exposed to elevated temperatures

T.M. Jeyashree, P.R. Kannan Rajkumar

This study focused on identifying critical factors governing the fire response of prestressed hollow-core slabs. The hollow-core slabs used as flooring units can be subjected to…
