Abstract: Building structures subjected to fire will generally experience complex force-temperature paths. In this paper, these paths are expressed simply by two basic paths: the path of constant forces but subjected to elevated ...

Abstract: The behavior of concrete exposed to fire is highly influenced by stress-temperature path. Any stress-temperature path consists of two basic paths: the path of constant temperature but subjected to increasing stress (TS ...

Abstract: Six specimens with different concrete cover (CC) thickness (10–30 mm) were tested to investigate the influence of the CC on the properties of reinforced concrete flexural members exposed to fire. The specimens were heated ...

Abstract: An innovative normal concrete (NC) with partial use of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) composite structure is proposed in this paper to reduce the long-term creep-induced deflection in continuous box-girder bridges. ...
