Abstract: Fire resistance of floor structures using steel sections has been modeled using bending-moment resistance calculations based on temperature data measured in fire tests. Three types of floors are investigated: (1) conventional ...

Abstract: Shallow floor structures have good inherent fire resistance. With no added protection to the steel section, their fire resistance rating is 1 h. However, when the bottom plate of such sections is exposed directly to fire, ...

Abstract: Organic acids, such as acetic and lactic acids, are prevalent in agricultural and food effluents. They pose a considerable pollution threat and must be collected and stored safely before treatment and release. They cause ...
