Steel and Composite Structures: Behaviour and Design for Fire Safety presents a systematic
and thorough description of the behaviour of steel and composite structures in fire, and …

A thermo-mechanical model for concrete subjected to high temperatures is presented in this
paper. The model is based on a coupled plastic-damage model that has been extended to …

A nonlinear layered finite element procedure for predicting the structural response of
reinforced concrete slabs subjected to fire is described. The proposed procedure is based …

This paper describes numerical modelling of the fire behaviour of two-way reinforced
concrete slabs using a special purpose non-linear finite-element program, SAFIR. Several …

This paper describes an experimental investigation into the influence of elevated
temperatures on the mechanical properties of steel reinforcement. The study includes tests …

A companion paper has documented a geometrically nonlinear layered procedure for
modeling of the membrane actions in concrete slabs subject to very high deflections and in …

Floor slabs are crucial in the global load bearing mechanism during fire by providing critical
alternate load-paths including tensile membrane action. It is desirable, but expensive and …

This paper presents a finite element analysis of the first Cardington test using shell elements
to model the concrete floor slab. The behaviour of these elements is defined using FEAST, a …

The paper describes a two-step finite element formulation for the thermo-mechanical non-
linear analysis of the behaviour of the reinforced concrete columns in fire. In the first step, the …
