Airfield Pavements Made of Reinforced Concrete: Dimensioning According to the Theory of Limit States and Eurocode

Abstract—In the previous airfield construction industry, pavements made of reinforced concrete have been used very rarely; however, the necessity to use this type of pavements in an emergency situations justifies the need reference to this issue. The paper concerns the problem of airfield pavement dimensioning made of reinforced concrete and the evaluation of selected dimensioning methods of re...

FEM models of composite timber-lightweight concrete floor systems

Paper presents the main principals in designing wood-lightweight concrete composite floor structures using FEM models. All design-related analyses are performed by means of the FEA COSMOS/M program. Paper emphasises some important details in FEM model design (how to choose appropriate finite elements for different types of materials, how to connect concrete slab and timber beams to work togethe...

Behavior of Composite Timber-Concrete Beam with CFRP Reinforcement

Probabilistic Evaluation of Eurocode 5 Fire Design Criteria of a Timber Portal Frame

Structural reliability analysis for a three failure were identified for the frame and limit state function was formulated functions were based on the Eurocode 5 design criteria. Uncertainties in the timber material properties were generated from laboratory test results performed on five commonly used timber species in Nigeria, namely Als boonei (Ahun), Triplochiton Scleroxylon (Obeche), Termina...

Eurocode 5 design in comparison with fire resistance tests of unprotected timber beams

It is generally recognized that heavy timber in fire conditions demonstrates high structural performance. Exposed timber chars which functions as an isolative layer which protects the inner material from heat and loss of load bearing capacity. Char has no significant strength, and therefore, as the char layer grows, the load bearing capacity of the timber member reduces under sustained fire con...
