Abstract: This paper presents experimental results and numerical simulation of postfire structural performance of prestressed concrete hollow-core floor slabs with edge beam supports. In total, four tests were carried out, including ...

Abstract: The short-term flexural behavior of prestressed glulam beams reinforced with curved tendons was investigated via four-point bending of 12 glulam beams. These beams were equally divided into four groups of three identical ...

Abstract: Debris hazard causes most of the casualties and injuries in terrorist or accidental explosions. It is defined as high-velocity fragments originating from structural components and building envelope systems induced by a ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a numerical simulation and subsequent variability analysis of the lateral load-resisting behavior of unbraced and chevron-braced glulam portal frames. Longitudinal tension/compression ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental study of the flexural performance of full-scale, fire-damaged, two-way composite-topped precast concrete slabs with different postfire exposure-strengthening methods are presented. Four slabs ...
