Presented in this paper are test results on mechanical properties of high strength Q690 steel
after being exposed to high temperatures. Yield strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus …

High strength steel has been widely used in various types of structures due to its merits of
high strength and good ductility. However, high strength steel structures are vulnerable to …

This paper presents quantitative investigations on the collapse behavior of steel portal
frames exposed to standard fires. The complete collapse process is divided into safe, alert …

Purpose In this study, engineering stress-strain relationships considering an effect of strain
rate on steel materials at elevated temperatures were formulated and a simplified analytical …

Full-scale experimental study and numerical analysis on behaviors and failure mechanisms
of full high strength steel extended endplate connections in fire have been carried out and …

The laterally unrestrained cellular steel beams (CB) are more susceptible to buckling failure
and collapse early due to the material degradation that occurs in a fire situation. The lateral …

The fire resistance time of a member plays a significant role in structural fire safety. The
determination of FR time for cellular steel beam is quite complicated because of irregular …

Castellated steel beams are made from normal steel beams cut into half with certain pattern
and re-jointed to increase its height. This action results in many shapes of openings in its …

This thesis delves into the challenges of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) in Canada,
particularly addressing the modelling barriers to the analysis of steel and ultra-high …

The integration of cellular metal beams in high-rise buildings allows for optimized space
utilization for technical equipment, while also reducing floor height and, consequently, the …
