..., particularly regarding the degradation of bond strength between GFRP bars and concrete. Design/methodology/approach Four full-size GFRP-reinforced concrete beams with straight-end bar lap splices at their midspan, which were examined in two prior related experimental studies under standard fire exposure...

... RC beams Standard fire Flexural strength test Processed temperatures Residual test Sustained elevated temperature The Reinforced Concrete(RC) elements are known to perform well after exposure to elevated temperatures. Owing to this, industrial structures such as chimneys, industrial...

... finite element modelling. Design/methodology/approach Lightweight aggregate concrete containing various aggregate types, i.e. expanded slag, pumice, expanded clay and expanded shale were studied under standard fire and hydro–carbon fire situations using validated finite element models. Results were...

... performance-based fire design more accessible, a time-equivalent method can be used to approximate a given natural fire event using a single standard fire with a specific duration. Doing so allows for natural fire events to be linked to the wealth of existing data from the standard fire scenario. The purpose...

... to investigate the fire performance of concrete columns exposed to a standard fire, and then evaluate its residual compressive strengths after fire exposure of different durations. Design/methodology/approach To effectively study the fire performance of such columns, eight identical 200 × 200 × 1,500-mm high...

... approximately 150°C between the fourth and fifth hour yet remained at 100°C and above after 7 h of natural cooling. Cooling phase Standard fire Bending failure Deflection behavior Shear failure Structural glued laminated timber beam Unlike other elements, a characteristic problem of timber...

... the axial capacity of RC columns exposed to standard fire. Design/methodology/approach The average temperature distribution along the section height is first predicted for a specific fire scenario. The corresponding distribution of the reduced concrete strength is then integrated to develop expressions...

... the heating phase during a 1-h standard fire in accordance with ISO 834-1 but also during the cooling phase. Design/methodology/approach Heating tests were carried out to confirm the charring rate and the temperature distribution in the cross-section of the beams. Loading tests under fire conditions were...

... Steel Studs, Thermal Performance, Standard Fire, Realistic Design Fire. 1. INTRODUCTION Fire safety design is essential to eliminate the loss of property and lives during fire events. Gypsum plasterboard is used as a fire resistance material in the building industry due to its ease of fabrication...
