Structural Timber In Compartment Fires – The Timber Charring and Heat Storage Model

open access: yesOpen Engineering, 2021
The influence of exposed timber surfaces on compartment fires has been well documented in various studies in recent decades. Yet available design concepts still typically neglect the influence of an additional fire load from linear structural timber ...

Derivation of buckling design curves via FE modelling for in-plane compressed timber log-walls in accordance with the Eurocode 5 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In \u2018Blockhaus\u2019 systems the structural capacity derives from surface interactions and friction mechanisms between multiple timber logs stacked horizontally one upon each other. Unlike masonry or concrete walls, timber log-walls are characterized

Analytical model of composite floors with steel fibre reinforced concrete slab subjected to fire

open access: yesJournal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2017
Under fire, membrane action plays an important role in the performance of slabs subjected to large deflections. In this paper, a new model is proposed based on a proper approximation of horizontal displacements for a simply sup­ported composite slab. The
