In a school environment, there is a high probability of accidents, and their characteristics and risk factors can be highlighted in the age group of their occupants, who predominantly have children and adolescents, and raw ...

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 ...

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 work deals with a numerical study on the structural behavior of steel cellular beams at room temperature, and under fire condition, focused on the lateral-torsional buckling limit state. The main objective is to propose ...

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 ...

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 ...

It is known that the use of composite columns made of totally and partially encased steel sections or composite columns made of concrete filled hollow sections is a quite consolidated structural system to civil construction ...
