Reduction of Connection Resistance During Veselí Fire Tests Available to Purchase

The paper is focused to the temperature distribution in the reverse channel connections to concrete filled tubular column during two fire tests on an experimental building in Veselí nad Lužnicí. Temperatures of connections without fire protection as well as fire protected connections were investigated. The connected beams were without fire protection which allows to take into account a membrane action of a composite ceiling without fire resistance reduction of the connections.
