The structural response of steel I-section members subjected to elevated temperature gradients across the section
… temperatures likely to be reached in real fires in buildings or ISO 834 fire resistance tests. Experiments have employed nominally full size models, heated using high powered, ceramic insulated, electrical heating elements at temperatures up to 1000°C. The experiments have been conducted …

Bench Scale Characterization of Joints and Coatings
The ASTM E119 is a large-scale test used to qualify assemblies for fire resistance, including heat transmission and structural integrity. The test requires specialized furnaces and full-scale assemblies that are 3.0 m (10 ft) or more on each side, making it very expensive to perform. In this study, …

Scale Modeling of Tests with Combined Thermo-Structural Loading
Standard methods for fire resistance testing require large-scale assemblies and are typically conducted on specialized furnaces at considerable cost. This research focused on developing a scaling methodology for a reduced-scale fire resistance test that reduces the size of the test article while …

Structural modelling of plasterboard-clad, light timber framed walls in fire
… reformed from a prescriptive basis of designing fire safety system requirements to a performance basis, which requires the application of engineering principles. Under the prescriptive regulations, fire resistant construction elements were tested using a standard fire resistance test heating …
