Traveling fires occur in large open-plan compartment and have been observed in many fire
accidents including the First Interstate Bank fire in Los Angeles in 1988, the One Meridian …

This paper presents a computational investigation aimed at better understanding the global
structural behavior of a steel-concrete composite (SCC) floor system subjected to single …

An investigation was carried out to examine the structural response of two steel-concrete
composite floor system under traveling fires. The thermal-mechanical analyses were …

The energy-based stress–strain model of plain concrete developed by Bažant and Oh
(1983) was extended to the elevated-temperature domain by developing an analytical …

This paper discusses the development of a finite element (FE) model of a full-scale
composite floor system and application of this model to predict the heating of steel members …

Abstract Design requirements for passive fire protection of steel structures in the United
States are primarily based on prescriptive approaches. Yet performance-based design has …

This paper presents a numerical investigation on a unidirectional coupling procedure
between fluid and thermo-mechanical modeling for assessing composite steel–concrete …

This thesis provides a computational investigation of three separate composite steel beam
fire tests conducted at Lehigh University's ATLSS Laboratory as well as parametric analyses …

This paper presents results of a numerical study on the effects of thermal expansion and
support restraint conditions on the performance of composite floors in fire. Previously, two …

This report describes the development and validation of a computational modeling approach
for steel gravity frames with composite floor systems subjected to fire exposure. A full-scale …
