Abstract: This paper deals with the behavior of lightly reinforced concrete members under fire conditions, focusing on the failure state associated with rupture of the reinforcement. The work transpires from the need to examine the ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the large displacement behavior of floor slab systems under extreme loading conditions. The analytical model, presented in the companion paper, is verified through comparisons against existing ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the failure of lightly reinforced concrete members under fire conditions, with particular emphasis given to the catenary action arising from axial restraint at the supports and the ensuing ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental results from a large research project dealing with the seismic behavior of semirigid steel frames. The investigation focuses on the performance of steel frames with semirigid connections ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new flat shell element for composite and reinforced concrete (RC) floor slabs subject to extreme loading conditions, accounting for the effects of geometric as well as material nonlinearities. A novel ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical model for the failure of lightly reinforced concrete slabs under elevated temperature, considering simply supported boundary conditions with planar edge restraints. This model is typically ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the ultimate behavior of lightly reinforced concrete floor slabs under extreme loading conditions. Particular emphasis is given to examining the failure conditions of idealized composite slabs ...

Abstract: This paper describes numerical and analytical assessments of the ultimate response of floor slabs. Simplified analytical models and finite-element simulations are described and validated against the experimental results ...

Abstract: This study examines the creep deformations and long-term strength properties of rubberized one-part alkali-activated concrete with relatively high rubber content, which have not been previously reported. The aluminosilicate ...
