Abstract: A specially developed two-dimensional cohesive zone finite element (CZFE) scheme is applied to simulate the fracture and delamination phenomena that occur in spray-applied fire-resisting material (SFRM) on steel structures. ...

Abstract: Predicting the response of restrained beams under fire conditions is complex owing to the development of fire-induced forces and requires finite-element or finite-differences analysis. In this paper, a simplified approach ...

Abstract: Fire is one of the most severe conditions to which structures can be subjected, and hence, the provision of appropriate fire safety measures for structural members is an important aspect of design. The recent introduction ...
