Title: | Experimental behaviour of a steel structure under natural fire | Authors: | Wald, F. Silva, L. Simões da Moore, D. B. Lennon, T. Chladná, M. Santiago, A. Benes, M. Borges, L. |
Keywords: | Structural engineering; Steel and composite structures; Full-scale tests; Fire design; Structural integrity | Issue Date: | 2006 | Citation: | Fire Safety Journal. 41:7 (2006) 509-522 | Abstract: | Current design codes for fire resistance of structures are based on isolated member tests subjected to standard fire conditions. Such tests do not reflect the behaviour of a complete building under either normal temperature or fire conditions. Many aspects of behaviour occur due to the interaction between members and cannot be predicted or observed in tests of isolated elements. Performance of real structures subject to real fires is often much better than that predicted from standard tests due to structural continuity and the provision of alternative load paths. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/3974 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.firesaf.2006.05.006 | Rights: | openAccess |
