Study on the influence of vent area on porosity-controlled wood crib compartment fires prior to flashover

Aishwarya Narang, Ravi Kumar, Amit Kumar Dhiman, Ravi Shankar Pandey, Pavan Kumar Sharma

This study describes a series of experiments investigating the upper hot layer temperature profile in a confined space under different ventilation conditions for…

Granite powder as partial replacement of cement in M30 grade concrete mix using IS 10262:2019

Sweety Poornima Rau Merugu, Manjunath Y.M.

This study aims at designing consistent and durable concrete by making use of waste materials. An investigation has been carried out to evaluate the performance of conventional…

Experimental investigation on residual capacity of square steel-reinforced concrete-filled steel tubular columns after fire

Jinhua Sun

Steel-reinforced concrete-filled steel tubular (SRCFST) columns have been increasingly popular in engineering practice for the columns' excellent seismic and fire performance…

A primer and success stories on performance-based fire design of structures

Deanna Craig, M.Z. Naser

The extreme nature of fire makes structural fire engineering unique in that the load actions dictating design are intense and neither geographically nor seasonally bound. Simply…

A two-scale method to include essential screw connection behaviour in two-way coupled fire-structure simulations

Qingfeng Xu, Hèrm Hofmeyer, Johan Maljaars

Simulations exist for the prediction of the behaviour of building structural systems under fire, including two-way coupled fire-structure interaction. However, these simulations…

Extension of the zone method for the design of circular and tubular concrete columns subjected to a standard fire

David Krybus, Marcus Achenbach, Livia Prifti

The paper aims to deal with the enhancement of a simplified method for the design of concrete columns subject to fire toward applications on circular and tubular cross-sections…

Application of hybrid cement in passive fire protection of steel structures

Jakub Šejna, Stanislav Šulc, Vít Šmilauer, Pavel Reiterman, František Wald

The aim of this paper is to determine the thermal conductivity of a protective layer of alkali-activated cement and the possibility of performing fire protection with fireclay…
