... into how support conditions, fire exposure sides and load ratios affect structural behavior – an area with limited quantitative analysis in the current literature. Design/methodology/approach Finite element (FE) models are developed in ABAQUS temperature-dependent orthotropic properties and validated...

... Publishing Limited Licensed re-use rights only Beam-column Rehabilitation CFRP Abaqus Joints ANN In recent decades, there has been increasing focus on the retrofitting and repair of reinforced concrete (RC) structural members, particularly those that have incurred damage or are no longer...

... Elevated temperature Direct strength method CUFSM ABAQUS Mesh size has an important role in determining the level of accuracy of results and time taken for computation. For this study mesh size of 5 × 5 mm was considered after performing sensitivity analysis Roy et al. (2021...

.... Finite element models (FEM) of the sub-frames were validated against fire tests conducted on sub-frames and then their results were compared to the proposed simplified hand calculation procedures (HCM). structural fire design Abaqus sub-frames restrained thermal expansion catenary action...

... of this research is the development of simplified design methods for calculating the fire resistance of a wide range of engineered timber floor systems, as part of a larger research project on multi-storey timber buildings. Timber Floors Thermal Modelling Furnace Testing ABAQUS Sequential...

... using different thermal properties and were compared with the experimental results. The thermal analysis is carried out numerically using finite element analysis package, ABAQUS [4]. Comparisons of different analyses results have been made with the main focus laid on the effect of the boundary...
