...Keming Shen; Xiaoling Liu; Cheng Chen; Bing Wang Purpose Fire disasters pose severe threats to concrete beam bridges, potentially causing rapid performance degradation or collapse. This study aims to investigate the residual mechanical performance and load-bearing capacity of a hollow slab beam...

... the validation of the design methods for structural members of light aggregate concrete in addition to the full-scale tests of heavy concrete members. Findings The design methods give correct estimates of the load-bearing capacity of eccentric loaded concrete columns. An extended version of the methods...

... fire resistance requirements of 60 and 120 min found in most national building regulations. The paper aims to present a detailed analysis of the mechanisms responsible for the loss of load-bearing capacity of hollow-core slabs when exposed to fire. Design/methodology/approach Furthermore...
