Modelling slabs is vitally necessary when simulating building structures in fire. The
composite action between slabs and beams and tensile membrane action after fire induced …

Dynamic fire assessment under many uncertainties make danger level difficult to be
evaluated reasonably. This investigation aims to establish a fire danger level dynamic …

This study analyses the structural response of an aluminium reticulated roof structure that is
constructed at Sichuan Fire Research Institute (Sichuan, China), and to be tested in fire. The …

The popularity of prefabricated wooden buildings is increasing in North America, but
choosing suitable materials for these structures can be complicated. This can lead to …

The catastrophic events of September 11, 2001, stand out as a major motivation for research
on improving the understanding of structural behaviour in fire. These events included the …

Modelling tall buildings responding to fires, especially multi-floor fires, requires the
consideration of composite slabs as the composite action can significantly affect the …

In the present study fire resistance tests of gypsum-sheathed stud walls were carried out and
a fire safety steel door was embedded within the wall to address the mechanical interaction …

Detailed FEM analysis models were created for steel floor structures including uninsulated
beams and slabs. The simulated collapse behavior at elevated temperatures under fires …

Designing and constructing a building is a complex process with many stakeholders,
constraints, and requirements. Generally, a property development firm would hire an …

This study aims to use the advanced analysis method to analyze the collapse of inelastic
nonlinear steel frames with bracing systems under static loadings. In this paradigm, the …
