Abstract: This paper presents results from experimental studies on residual mechanical properties of Grade 1.9 bolts exposed to elevated temperatures. The effects of various target temperatures on the residual mechanical properties, ...

Abstract: A numerical study on the fire performance of bolted splice connections is presented. A finite element (FE) model, incorporating geometric and material nonlinearities, nonlinear contact interactions, and elevated temperature ...

Abstract: AbstractAfter a fire accident, buildings must be able to maintain their safety against various dynamic stimuli, such as earthquakes, during operation. Based on multiple placement positions, building members experience ...
