This paper examines the influence of temperature-induced transient creep on the onset of
instability in steel framed structures subjected to fire exposure. A comprehensive numerical …

Fire hazard is regarded as a significant threat to structural systems, not only the resistance
during the fire should be concerned but the post-fire assessment of structural performance is …

Fire is one of the extreme loading events that a building may experience during its service
life and can have severe consequences on the safety of its occupants, first responders, and …

The earthquake-fire sequence is one of the most significant combinations of hazards, and
exploring the cascading effects is essential for enhancing the multi-hazard resilience of …

Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are typically employed in seismic design because they
integrate the benefits of concentrically braced frames and moment-resisting frames …

Damages to structures may occur due to construction defects during various stages such as
design, construction, and operation phases, or due to natural disasters during their lifetime …

Abstract The AISC Specification Chapter F I-section member flexural resistance equations
are a central part of structural steel design in the United States. The provisions of Sections …

A parametric investigation of several unbraced steel frames with regular and irregular
geometry subjected to elevated temperatures is carried out in this study to determine the …

This study presents an experimental investigation on the structural effects of an ignited fire
occurring in a steel warehouse building with storage racks located at a part of an industrial …

Most of the existing codes do not provide accurate equations based on different important
parameters to determine the required fire coating thickness of the structural elements …
