...Ali Nadjai; Naveed Alam; Marion Charlier; Olivier Vassart; Xu Dai; Jean-Marc Franssen; Johan Sjostrom Purpose In the frame of the European RFCS TRAFIR project, three large compartment fire tests involving steel structure were conducted by Ulster University, aiming at understanding in which...

... of the analytical investigations addressing the behaviour of slim floor beams with web openings at elevated temperatures. The proposed analytical method is first validated by replicating the data acquired during the fire test. To make the analysis economical in terms of time, a quarter of the test assembly...

... calculations of steel elements with intumescent coating. As a new development, the numerical model takes into account the expansion process of the intumescent coating. intumescent coating numerical simulation fire tests ABAQUS. Abaqus/Standard Version 6.10. Pawtucket: Hibbit, Karlsson...

... a finite element model. This model allows to simulate numerically the evolution of the temperatures inside the connections as well as their mechanical and thermo-mechanical behaviours. The thermal modelling is validated on the basis of the temperature-time evolutions measured during fire tests...

... each test. Keywords: Fire Tests; Inclined Glazing; Flame Impingement; Numerical 1. INTRODUCTION Having reviewed previous tall building fires, history has shown that fires in high rise buildings are rare events, however when they do occur they generally have major consequences. It is known that many...
