Structural Behavior of Floor Systems Made by Floor Plates—Mechanical Model Based on Test Results

Autor: Tom Molkens, Ann Van Gysel

Publikováno v: Applied Sciences, Vol 11, Iss 2, p 730 (2021)

In daily engineering practice, the execution of concrete slabs by the mean of precast floor plates is seen as a common and reliable way to create massive slabs. In the last few decades, however, there has been an evolution to flat slabs and other use

Nowadays, the semi-probabilistic design approach using partial safety factors is by far the most widely used technique for the design of new industrial buildings. It is believed that the method delivers a safe design with respect to a minimum degree

Stainless steel offers excellent mechanical properties as well as corrosion resistance and performs better in a fire compared to carbon steel in that it retains its strength and stiffness for a longer duration. The current paper is focussed on the po

Post-fire mechanical properties of carbon steel and safety factors for the reinstatement of steel structures

Autor: Barbara Rossi, Katherine A. Cashell, Tom Molkens

This paper provides guidance on the post-fire material properties and associated safety factors for structural carbon steel which are required for the assessment and retrofitting of existing steel buildings which have suffered and survived a fire. No
