I-beams are widely used in construction structures because of their excellent mechanical
properties. This research experimentally investigated the flexural performance of composite I …

Abstract The Thread-fixed One-side Bolt (TOB) is the bolt that can be installed from outside
of a steel tube column, which is anchored by the threads on the bolt hole wall instead of the …

This paper investigated the mechanical performance of the bolted steel-laminated-flattened-
bamboo (LFB)-steel connection under compression parallel to grain using experimental and …

Estimation of design fires and thermal exposure conditions is an important step in structural
fire engineering procedures. Mass timber, as a combustible material, may contribute to the …

There is a lack of knowledge on the structural reliability of dowel-type connections exposed
to fire. The objective of this paper is to propose a model for the structural reliability analysis …

Recent experimental evidence has shown that wood–steel–wood dowel-type connections
exhibit a semi-rigid behaviour even after 90 min of fire exposure. Because a semi-rigid …

Purpose Top-seat angle connection is known as one of the usual uncomplicated beam-to-
column joints used in steel structures. This article investigates the fire performance of …

This chapter introduces structural connection typologies and provides information on
potential failure modes and methods to provide fire resistance to connections exposed to a …

Fire is an unpredictable event, but if it does occur a structure should be designed in such a
way that it would be able to resist such an event while remaining structurally sound. The …
