9781390476743 - Fire Effects on Reinforced Concrete Members (Classic Reprint) di Ellingwood, Bruce (1 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book combines experimental data with engineering analysis to deeply examine the effects of fire on reinforced concrete members, such as beams, columns, and slabs. It firstly investigates how realistic fire curves should be developed in order to replace the existing standard test, which does not always reflect how a building would behave in the event of a real fire. The book includes parametric studies which show the effects of fire load, opening factor, and member geometry on the development of temperature within reinforced concrete members. It concludes by offering insights into the structural response of reinforced concrete members exposed to these realistic fire scenarios. The author provides valuable new information which can be used to develop more accurate and realistic fire-resistance design procedures. These procedures are essential to ensure the safety of buildings and their occupants in the event of a fire.
