Thermal Shielding Near Intermediate Supports of Continuous Span Composite Slabs

At TNO Building and Construction Research, in close co-operation with the Eindhoven University of Technology, research is carried out on the behaviour of fire-exposed composite steel/concrete slabs, in the framework of a research project co-sponsored by the ECSC (European Community for Steel and Coal). The paper describes the state of the art of the research project

Buckling curves of hot rolled H steel sections submitted to fire

Report of the research work at the base of the design equation introduced in Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-2) for the stability of steel columns under axial loading or combined axial and bending loading

The effect of the mechanical and structural properties of steel at elevated temperatures on the buckling of fire exposed columns

Among other things, this reports explains how residual stresses have to be modelled in the numerical simulation of a structure subjected to fir

A comparison between five structural fire codes applied to steel elements

peer reviewedFive codes have been used to simulate the fire behaviour of steel structural elements subjected to fire and the results have been compared. There is no coparison with experimental results

Development of design rules for steel structures subjected to natural fires in large compartments

In this project was introduced for the first time in Europe the concept of localised fire which was quantified from the experimental tests made by Hasemi in Japan and was finaly introduced in Eurocode 1 (EN 1991-1-2
