Fire has been a scourge of society for a very long time due to its impact on the human and
economic aspects. Fire resistance is a characteristic of concrete buildings, and residential …

Many studies of the thermal and structural behaviour for large compartments in fire carried
out over the past two decades show that fires in such compartments have a great deal of non …

This paper describes a full-scale natural fire test to investigate the collapse behaviour of a
single storey cold-formed steel (CFS) building, designed to behave in a specified way in a …

To investigate the post-fire seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) frames with
different column-to-beam bending capacity ratios, four specimens were fabricated, which …

Fire can damage structures severely and even cause the building collapse. Structural and
fire engineers must carry out a comprehensive forensic investigation of major structural …

A structure, during its life, may be subjected to multiple hazards. These hazards are
sometimes combined over a short period of time, or in some cases occur many years apart …

In order to capture global load redistribution in a structural system subjected to fire and fire
induced local failure such as column buckling, this paper develops a dual-3D hybrid …

Advanced simulation methods are needed to predict the complex behavior of structures
exposed to realistic fires. Fire dynamics simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics …

Understanding the relevant behaviour of fire in buildings is critical for the continued
provision of fire safety solutions as infrastructure continually evolves. Traditionally, new and …

Masonry, as a construction material, is known to perform well under elevated temperatures,
which makes it an attractive choice for structural applications. This superior performance is a …
