Advanced Modeling of Composite Slabs with Thin-Walled Steel Sheeting Submitted to Fire
(2013)The paper studies the behavior of composite slabs with corrugated steel sheeting at elevated temperatures. Two structural systems are considered: a simply supported composite slab and a continuous composite slab that ... -
The effect of partial substitution of polyphosphates by aluminium hydroxide and borates on the technological and fire properties of medium density fibreboard
(2022)Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aluminium hydroxide and borates, separately or combined with ammonium polyphosphate (APP), upon the technological and fire properties of medium density fibreboard (MDF). Fire ... -
Fire performance and leach resistance of pine wood impregnated with guanyl-urea phosphate/boric acid and a melamine-formaldehyde resin
(2020)Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood impregnated with guanyl-urea phosphate/boric acid and a melamine-formaldehyde resin exhibited considerably increased resistance to leaching, while sustaining superior fire retardancy ... -
Fire resistance prediction of slim-floor asymmetric steel beams using single hidden layer ANN models that employ multiple activation functions
(2022)In this paper a mathematical model for the prediction of the fire resistance of slim-floor steel beams based on an Artificial Neural Network modeling procedure is presented. The artificial neural network models are trained ... -
Fire Retardancy and Leaching Resistance of Furfurylated Pine Wood (Pinus sylvestris L.) Treated with Guanyl-Urea Phosphate
(2022)Guanyl-urea phosphate (GUP) was introduced into furfurylated wood in order to improve fire retardancy. Modified wood was produced via vacuum-pressure impregnation of the GUP– furfuryl alcohol (FA) aqueous solution, which ... -
Leach-resistant fire-retardant treated furfurylated wood by incorporating guanyl-urea phosphate
(2021)Furfurylated wood has been used widely for exterior purposes due to its superior dimensional stability and biological durability, though its fire resistance is not enhanced. Here, the introduction of the fire-retardant ... -
Numerical study on thermal buckling of empty thin-walled steel tanks under multiple pool-fire scenarios
(2018)Fire incidents at fuel storage tank farms are high risk incidents due to the fact that can result in severe socio-economic losses, injuries, deaths and have a serious environmental impact. In the case of a tank fire, there ... -
Rotational capacity of pre-damaged I-section steel beams at elevated temperatures
(2017)Structures submitted to Fire-After-Earthquake loading situations, are first experiencing inelastic deformations due to the seismic action and are then submitted to the thermal loading. This means that in the case of steel ... -
Thermo-mechanical analysis of composite slabs under fire conditions
(2010)The paper studies the behavior of composite slabs with corrugated steel sheeting in elevated temperatures. Two structural systems are considered: a simply supported composite slab and a continuous composite slab that ...
