The main object of this study is to compute the structural fire resistance for several steel members under different loading conditions. This is done in chapter 4 using two advanced calculation models. Chapter 1 contains prescriptions according to European codes, needed for this research. In Chapter 2 the notion of structural fire resistance is explained and also information about the types of ...

The initial material cost of structural stainless steel is about four times that of structural carbon steel, due largely to the expense of the alloying elements and the relatively low volume of production. Given broadly similar structural performance, additional areas of benefit need to be identified and exploited in order to establish stainless steel as a viable alternative material for constr...

Fire as one of the extraordinary load is essential to study in all its aspects. It evolve fire development well structural analysis elements subjected fire. The present paper deals with steel beam resistance determination by these two approaches (analytical and numerical) compares results.

Abstract Context Several plant traits are associated with resistance to fire, thus fire-resistant species may give rise more landscapes. However, up-scaling from landscape- and regional-scale fire effects remains a challenge. Objectives We test two hypotheses: (1) forests composed of experience lower severity than less species; (2) wildfires affecting greater smaller patches high-severity fire....
