ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Rational Approach for Evaluating Fire Resistance of FRP-Strengthened Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a rational approach for evaluating the fire resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with different types of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). This approach is based on conventional fire ...
Modeling Shear Failure in Precast Prestressed Concrete Hollowcore Slabs under Fire Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prestressed concrete (PC) hollowcore slabs when exposed to fire are susceptible to failure under shear limit state. However, current approaches do not consider shear limit state in evaluating failure of hollowcore slabs ...
Effect of Temperature on Thermal Properties of High-Strength Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For use in fire resistance calculations, the relevant thermal properties of high-strength concrete (HSC) were determined as a function of temperature. These properties included the thermal conductivity, specific heat, ...
Stress-Strain Curves for High Strength Concrete at Elevated Temperatures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of high temperature on the strength and stress-strain relationship of high strength concrete (HSC) were investigated. Stress-strain curve tests were conducted at various temperatures (20, 100, 200, 400, 600, and
Design Equations for Evaluating Fire Resistance of SFRC-Filled HSS Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Computer programs were developed and used to investigate the influence of various factors on the fire resistance of steel hollow structural section columns filled with steel fiber-reinforced concrete. Results from the ...
Research Toward Use of Unprotected Steel Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When exposed to fire, steel loses stiffness and strength; to limit this loss of strength and stiffness, external fire protection is provided to the steel structural members to satisfy required fire resistance ratings. ...
Closure to “Research Toward Use of Unprotected Steel Structures” by Y. C. Wang and V. K. R. Kodur
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Modeling the Behavior of Fiber Reinforced Polymer-Confined Concrete Columns Exposed to Fire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Very little information is available on the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials and FRP-strengthened concrete members in fire, and this is a primary factor hindering the widespread implementation of FRP ...
Evaluating the Fire Response of Concrete Beams Strengthened with Near-Surface-Mounted FRP Reinforcement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an approach for evaluating the fire response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement. The model is based on a macroscopic ...
Numerical Model for Tracing the Response of FRP-Strengthened RC Beams Exposed to Fire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the development of a numerical model for evaluating the performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-strengthened RC beams under fire conditions. The model is based on a macroscopic finite-element ...
