The practical implementation of performance-based fire safety design of reinforced concrete
(RC) structures hinges on the availability of accurate numerical simulation tools for the …

The use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) has been established as one of the possible
techniques to strengthen concrete beams in flexure and shear. Carbon Fiber Reinforced …

The influence of microstructural changes on concrete properties at elevated temperatures is
presented and discussed in this paper, as the exposure to elevated temperatures brings in …

A nonlinear structural analysis of cross-sections of three-dimensional reinforced concrete
frames exposed to fire is presented. The analysis includes two steps: the first step is the …

The paper describes a two-step finite element formulation for the thermo-mechanical non-
linear analysis of the behaviour of the reinforced concrete columns in fire. In the first step, the …

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of concrete compressive strength and
cover thickness on the structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams under fire. For …

A two-step formulation, consisting of separate thermal and mechanical analyses, is
presented for the thermo-mechanical analysis of reinforced concrete planar frames subject …

Fire tests and subsequent bending tests of four reinforced concrete (RC) beams were
performed. Based on these tests, the post-fire performance of RC beams was further studied …

The safety of extensive reinforced concrete (RC) buildings under sudden fire scenarios is of
particular concern nowadays. Localized fires may bring serious damage and even collapse …

This paper presents a dynamic explicit finite element (FE) simulation method to predict the
highly nonlinear response of axially and rotationally restrained reinforced concrete (RC) …
