In the present article the failure behaviour of a steel, beam type element supported against fire by protection boards, is studied. Three – dimensional, coupled temperature - displacement, non-linear finite element analysis models have…
The paper describes a customer project, the objective of which was to develop a software program for the calculation of reinforced concrete and steel/concrete composite columns subjected to various loadings and exposed to normal…
In order to study the effect of polypropylene fibers on the durability of cementitious composites, several experimental tests have been carried out in the laboratory. The composite was tested with different volume fractions of…
Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is a promising alternative to steel due to its high strength, lightweight properties, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance requirements. This study examines the effect of internal GFRP I-sections…
This paper attempts to disclose the damage mechanism of reinforced concrete plate-column structure under room temperature and fire. Several tests were carried out to record the law of crack development on the plate surface under room…
Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns are increasingly used in the construction of high-rise buildings which require high strength and large working space especially at lower stories. As compared to reinforced concrete columns…
High-strength concrete has been widely used in various complex buildings. The fracture and mechanical properties of high-strength concrete after fire have great research value. Based on the double K fracture model, the fracture properties…
The paper presents an experimental investigation of the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beam elements strengthened externally with stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM). SSWM has the potential to be an alternative composite…
Structural strengthening is vital to improve the load-carrying capacity partially or severely damaged Reinforced Concrete (RC) elements. Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) are widely used for strengthening purposes. In this study, use of…
For more than two decades, the construction technique using concrete filled steel tube (CFST) has been widespread throughout the world. Indeed, it has been demonstrated that the use of normal or high strength concrete, confined in a steel…
Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) I-sections offer a promising alternative to traditional steel reinforcement due to their reduced weight and maintenance requirements. This study aims to optimize the design of GFRP-reinforced composite…
