TEMPERATURE HETEROGENEITY OF TRAVELLING FIRE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON COMPOSITE STEEL-CONCRETE FLOOR [PDF]
Civil Engineering Journal, 2016 In order to follow modern trends in contemporary building architecture, which is moving off the limits of current fire design models, assumption of homogeneous temperature conditions used for structural fire analysis needs to be revised. In this

Editorial: Buildings` Behaviour in Fire [PDF]
The Open Construction and Building Technology Journal, 2010 Fire causes a significant loss to life and property, this is why the fire resistance of buildings is one of the main considerations for structural designers. The behaviour of structures exposed to fire is usually described in terms of the concept of fire resistance, which is the period of time under exposure to a standard fire time-temperature curve at

Commercial fire-retarded PET formulations - relationship between thermal degradation behaviour and fire-retardant action [PDF]
, 2007 Many types of fire-retardants are used in poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, formulations, and two commercial fire retardants, Ukanol(TM) and Phosgard(TM), have been shown to improve significantly PET flame-retardancy when used as comonomers.

Simplified model for pre-code RC column exposed to fire followed by earthquake
Scientific Reports, 2022 The behaviour of pre-code reinforced concrete (RC) columns in sequence of fire and earthquake is not well understood and can be critical in case of buildings which experienced fire and are either unrepaired or poorly repaired when exposed to an ...
