Abstract: This paper discusses fire-safe design methods incorporating the application of new fire-protection materials, taking an office building as an example. New fire-protection materials targeted in the research are an intumescent ...

Abstract: This paper reports high-temperature properties of stainless steel for structural use in comparison with conventional carbon steels. Because of the elements contained, stainless steel retains strength at high temperatures. ...

Abstract: This paper presents properties of fire‐resistant (FR) steel for structural use. Because of the elements contained and its rolling process, FR steel retains strength at high temperatures compared with conventional structural ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the results of experimental studies on the durability of intumescent coating for steel frames. Intumescent coatings are fireproof materials that provide the thermal insulation of steel structures. ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental results of full‐scale fire tests with loading on concrete‐filled steel‐tube (CFST) columns using fire‐resistant (FR) steel for building structural use. By covering the tube surface with ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the results of experimental studies on the high‐temperature mechanical properties of high‐strength fire‐resistant (FR) bolts for fire‐resistant steel (FR steel), and the shear strength of the friction ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the results of experimental studies on the fire resistance of walls (partition walls and exterior walls) and floor–ceiling systems manufactured using galvanized light-gauge steel shapes. Galvanized ...

Abstract: This paper is to verify the fire resistance of columns made from fire‐resistant (FR) structural steel by means of a full‐scale loaded heat test and numerical analysis. Because of the elements contained, FR steel has higher ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the experimental studies on the durability of galvanized light-gauge steel shapes with thickness up to 1.6 mm, inclusive of screw connections. The durability of these shapes and screw connections was ...
