The OpenSees framework has been extended to deal with frame structures under fire
conditions. OpenSees is an object-oriented, open source software framework developed at …

Computational modeling of structures subjected to extreme static and dynamic loads (such
as snow, wind, impact, and earthquake) using finite-element software are part of mainstream …

In this paper we report the progress of our work so far on extending of the OpenSees
framework so that it can be used to model structures subjected to fire. The work has …

The last two decades have witnessed the shift of structural fire design from prescriptive
approaches to performance-based approaches in order to build more advanced structures …

The behaviour of heated structures is strongly governed by thermal induced deformation
and degradation of material properties. This thesis presents an augmentation of the software …

One of the recommendations of the National Construction Safety Team (NCST) for the
Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster [NIST …

Fire and post-earthquake fires pose a major hazard to our built environment with possible
catastrophic consequences. Any framework developed for evaluating the resilience of steel …

The move from using the standard fire test for structural fire design towards more rational
design methods has led to an increased requirement for numerical modelling of structures in …

This paper describes the methodology of an advanced analysis technique for studying the
large-displacement inelastic behaviour of building frames subjected to localised fire. The …

ABSTRACT TASEF (Temperature Analysis of Structures Exposed fo Fire) is a computer
progran for cal cu lating temperatures in structures exposed to fire. The temperature distributi …
