Abstract: This paper studies the role of confining reinforcement on the compression behavior of axially loaded reinforced concrete (RC) columns at elevated temperatures. To demonstrate, experimental tests are conducted on 10 RC stub ...

Abstract: This paper presents the behavior of axially loaded steel columns subjected to thermal gradients through their cross sections. Experimental tests were conducted on full-scale wide-flange steel columns with

Abstract: This paper presents the behavior of axially loaded steel columns subjected to thermal gradients through their cross sections. Experimental tests were conducted on full-scale wide-flange steel columns with W8×35 and W14×53 ...

Abstract: This paper studies the role of volume, spacing, and configuration of lateral reinforcement on the axial load resisting capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) columns at elevated temperatures. Short RC columns were tested ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the performance-based structural fire engineering of steel buildings subjected to realistic design-basis fire scenarios. Medium-rise office buildings were designed in accordance with U.S. building ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental investigations conducted to determine the fundamental behavior of steel members under fire loading. A total of eleven full-scale steel members were tested under combined ...
