...Richard Walls; Celeste Viljoen; Hennie de Clercq Purpose This paper aims to provide a parametric investigation into the behaviour of steel, concrete and composite beams exposed to fire. This investigation gives insight into the structural behaviour of elements experiencing thermal and mechanical...

...Anne-Charlotte Goupil; Jean-Charles Craveur; Benjamin Mercier; Philippe Barabinot Purpose This paper aims to deal with numerical modelling of composite panels of naval industry exposed to fire. Finite element (FE) analyses have been used to study the thermomechanical behaviour of structures...

..., Composite, Fire, Resistance, Modelling 1. INTRODUCTION Structural engineers and architects have a responsibility for incorporating fire safety into their building designs in order to minimize loss of life and property. For last two decades, extensive research has been carried out on the behaviour of steel...
