... to investigate the response and in-plane failure modes of shallow circular concrete arches subjected to mechanical and fire loading. Design/methodology/approach This study is conducted through the development of a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model in ANSYS. The FE model is verified by comparison...

...Fariz Aswan Ahmad Zakwan; Ruqayyah Ismail; Renga Rao Krishnamoorthy; Azmi Ibrahim Purpose This paper aims to investigate the predicted temperature behaviour of the protected cellular steel beam (CSB) with circular web openings at elevated temperature through finite element simulation. Design...

... that care should be taken when selecting the load ratio to be used in the design. Originality/value In a recent work, the large deflection behaviours of axially restrained corrugated web steel beam (CWSB) at elevated temperatures were investigated using a finite element method ( Wang et al...

... filed model of semi-rigid joints to CFST columns with slabs was made by using ABAQUS finite element (FE) software, in considering temperature heating-up stage of fire modelling. The effects of composite slab, fire type and construction location were discussed, and the model was verified by the test...
