... Achieving the optimum design for the internal door stiffeners where the hat omega stiffener gives minimum door deformation compared to the other stiffeners was considered the practical implication. The work included two experimental fire door tests according to the standard fire test (ANSI/UL 10C – Positive...

... claddings are rapid fire spread, smoke production and toxicity and inconsistency in fire testing. Originality/value The review highlights the current challenges in cladding fire, smoke toxicity, testing system and regulation to provide some research recommendations to address the identified challenges...

..., such as expansion factors, thermal conductivity and heat capacity. The results of the numerical model are compared to own large-scale fire tests of an unloaded I-section beam and column. Design/methodology/approach As natural fires can show arbitrary regimes, the material properties of the waterborne IC...

... The findings based on fire tests contribute to a better understanding of the intumescent coating performance on connection components of tension rod systems. This subject has not been extensively studied yet. The performance of intumescent coatings on steel tension members with circular solid section has...

..., it compares theoretical calculation and assessment according to the structural codes with data derived from a standard fire test and from a thorough examination of the comprehensive test documentation available on fire exposed hollow-core slabs. Findings Mechanisms for loss of load-bearing capacity...

...David J. Proe Purpose This paper aims to facilitate verification of computer modelling techniques for complex structures exposed to fire and to test the effect of some steel beams being left unprotected. Design/methodology/approach This paper describes a fire test conducted on a large-scale...

...Tomáš Jána; František Wald 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...

...Anthony Ariyanayagam; Mahen Mahendran This paper presents the details of full scale fire tests of LSF wall panels conducted using realistic fire time-temperature curves. Tests included eight LSF wall specimens of various configurations exposed to both parametric design and natural fire curves...

...Gisèle Bihina; Bin Zhao; Abdelhamid Bouchaïr The main results from a numerical investigation on a composite floor made of cellular beams at elevated temperatures are presented. From a full-scale natural fire test, a 3D finite element model has been developed under ANSYS code to simulate the thermo...

... in fire condition. Recently, further three fire tests were carried out on concrete slabs reinforced with GFRP bars bent at the ends. The anchoring of the FRP bars in the zone of slab not directly exposed to fire at the end of the members revealed essential to ensures slab resistance, once in the fire...

... in a European-collaborative project which concerns the behaviour and robustness in fire of practical connections to composite columns. This includes two natural fire tests in a full-scale composite structure in Veselí, the Czech Republic. The Sheffield team was responsible for predicting the structural...
