Fire Protective Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Plates for Steel Structures under Different Types of Fire Exposure

Comparative Study of Steel and Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Composites

Concrete is most widely used construction material in the world. Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is a concrete in which small and discontinuous fibers are dispersed uniformly. The fibers used in FRC may be of different materials like steel, G.I., carbon, glass, aramid, asbestos, polypropylene, jute etc. The addition of these fibers into concrete mass can dramatically increase the compressive st...

Fire Damage Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Structures Using Fuzzy Theory

Once a reinforced concrete (RC) structure is damaged by fire, the fire damage assessment should proceed to take appropriate post-fire actions, including the decision-making of whether it can be repaired for reuse or not. Since the assessment results of current fire damage diagnosis methods, however, highly depend on the subjective judgment of inspectors, it is hard to ensure their objectiveness...

Fiber Beam Element Model for the Collapse Simulation of Concrete Structures under Fire

In order to analyze and simulate the collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) elements under fire, a novel numerical model based on the fiber beam model is proposed in this paper. By dividing the cross section of beam element into many small concrete and steel fibers and assigning different materials to each fiber, this model can consider the non-uniform temperature distribution across the section ...
