Unbonded Post Tensioned Concrete Slabs in Fire - Part I - Experimental Response of Unbonded Tendons under Transient Localized Heating
John Gales, Luke Bisby, Martin GillieThe fire-safe structural design and construction of unbonded post-tensioned (UPT) flat plate concrete structures has recently come under debate in the UK, and questions are being…
Unbonded Post Tensioned Concrete Slabs in Fire - Part II - Modelling Tendon Response and the Consequences of Localized Heating
John Gales, Luke Bisby, Martin GillieThis is Part II of a two part paper dealing with the current state of knowledge of the fire-safe structural design and construction of unbonded post-tensioned (UPT) flat plate…
Influence of Polypropylene Fibres on the Thermal Strain of High Strength Concrete at High Temperatures
Sven Huismann, Frank Weise, Birgit Meng, Ulrich SchneiderThis paper presents the results of an experimental study on the influence of polypropylene (PP) fibres on the thermal strain of high strength concrete (HSC) at temperatures up to…
Experimental Tests and Analytical Models for Welds and Grade 8.8 Bolts under Heating and Subsequent Cooling
F. Hanus, G. Zilli, J.-M. FranssenThe present article describes experimental tests performed on bolts and welds at the Centro Sviluppo Materiali under heating and subsequent cooling. Force-displacement laws…
Investigations on the Behavior of Steel Single Plate Beam End Framing Connections in Fire
Guanyu Hu, Michael EngelhardtThis paper summarizes the results of computational and experimental investigations on the behavior of steel simple beam end framing connections subjected to fire. Connections are…
Collapse Mechanisms of Composite Slab Panels in Fire
Anthony Abu, Verotiana Ramanitrarivo, Ian BurgessA simple folding mechanism, which considers the contributions of internal unprotected beams and protected edge beams, has been proposed for isolated slab panels in fire…
Constitutive Equations and Empirical Creep Law of Structural Steel S460 at High Temperatures
Regine Schneider, Jörg LangeAlthough the constitutive equations at elevated temperatures given in Eurocode 3 Part 1-2 are valid for steel grades up to S460, the experimental data base concerning the…
Design of Timber-Concrete Composite Floors for Fire Resistance
James O'Neill, David Carradine, Peter Moss, Massimo Fragiacomo, Rajesh Dhakal, Andrew BuchananThis research investigated the fire performance and failure behaviour of timber-concrete composite floor systems currently under development in New Zealand, resulting in a design…
