In steel buildings, it has been common to design floorslabs with composite beams and steel deck. Fire design, generally uses a traditional and conservative procedure, according to prestandard Eurocode 4: Part 1.2 (Design ...

In this work the problem of the stability is analyzed and criteria are presented for the design of the resistance of cold-formed steel in fire conditions, still implementing a specific software for the design of the bars. ...

This study presents a simple way to determine and or verify normal pieces of reinforced concrete as beams, slabs and columns under fire conditions. There is no brazilian standard rules in this specific subject, then this ...

This work presents a general method to structural fire design of reinforced concrete elements, considering several standard fire resistances and the reduction of the mechanical properties of the materials (reinforcing steel ...

Com o objetivo de dimensionar estruturas cada vez mais seguras, devemos nos atentar as mais variadas situações que as edificações podem ser submetidas. Ações excepcionais como os incêndios estão cada vez mais corriqueiras ...

Mixed structures consist of the association of steel (such as formwork, in the case of slabs, and profiles, in the case of beams) with concrete, so both materials work together in resistance to mechanical stress. The use ...

The fire design of steel structures has just recently called attention frompublic authorities and researchers in Brazil. Starting from researches developed in some universities in 1995, it was made a code about the subject ...

The fatalities resulting from the structural collapse that occurred in fire situations, emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the structural elements resist a minimum time, so that people can leave and the fire ...
