Stability of axially loaded tapered columns/Centriškai gniuždomų trapecinių kolonų stabilumas
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2000 In this paper, theoretical analysis of tapered column's bearing capacity is presented. A slender axially loaded column loses stability, when it achieves critical load (1). Critical load for uniform column can be calculated using L. Euler's formula (3).

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Deriving the Charring Rate of a Wood Fibre Insulation Board by Exposure to the ISO 834 Standard Fire
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wood fibre insulation boards (WFIB) are widely used combustible building materials, commonly applied in energy‐efficient construction for their thermal and hygric performance. The present study investigates the behaviour of the most common type of wood fibre insulation when exposed to the ISO 834 standard fire.

A brief critical review on the behavior of historical timber structures affected by biological agents and other external factors [PDF]
, 2013 The durability of the historical timber structures is significantly influenced by the quality of the timber used for its construction, by its physical and mechanical properties, but also by the negative action of various biological agents (xylophage ...

Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.
