...Fabricio Longhi Bolina Purpose A thermomechanical finite element analysis (FEA) was conducted on reinforced concrete (RC) beams reinforced with normal-strength steel (NSS, fy = 500 MPa) and high-strength steel (HSS, fy = 700 MPa) subjected to fire exposure per ISO 834. Design/methodology...

...H. Kinjo; T. Hirashima; S. Yusa; T. Horio; T. Matsumoto Purpose Based on heating tests and load-bearing fire tests, this paper aims to discuss the charring rate, the temperature distribution in the section and the load-bearing capacity of structural glued laminated timber beams not only during...

... material models of steel are based on transient coupon tests, which inherently include creep strain associated with particular heating rates and load ratios. Findings The creep-free analysis aims to reveal the influence of implicit creep by investigating the behaviour of simply supported steel beams...

...Joao Paulo C. Rodrigues; Luis Laim; Hélder David Craveiro Purpose This paper aims to present the results of a study on the behaviour of cold-formed galvanized steel beams subjected to fire, using the results of a large programme of experimental tests. Design/methodology/approach The research...

... (GFRP) bar RC beams at elevated temperatures have been investigated in this paper. Data are presented from fire tests of six simply supported beams that were fabricated using normal-weight concrete. The effects of varying load levels and FRP bar type were studied. The beams were designed over-reinforced...
