PurposeThe construction industries at present are focusing on designing sustainable concrete with less carbon footprint. Considering this aspect, a Fibre-Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete (FGC) was developed with 8 and 10 molarities (M). At elevated temperatures, concrete experiences deterioration of its mechanical properties which is in some cases associated with spalling, leading to the building collapse.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, six geopolymer-based mix proportions are prepared with crimped steel fibre (SF), polypropylene fibre (PF), basalt fibre (BF), a hybrid mixture consisting of (SF + PF), a hybrid mixture with (SF + BF), and a reference specimen (without fibres). After temperature exposure, ultrasonic pulse velocity, physical characteristics of damaged concrete, loss of compressive strength (CS), split tensile strength (TS), and flexural strength (FS) of concrete are assessed. A polynomial relationship is developed between residual strength properties of concrete, and it showed a good agreement.FindingsThe test results concluded that concrete with BF showed a lower loss in CS after 925 °C (i.e. 60 min of heating) temperature exposure. In the case of TS, and FS, the concrete with SF had lesser loss in strength. After 986 °C and 1029 °C exposure, concrete with the hybrid combination (SF + BF) showed lower strength deterioration in CS, TS, and FS as compared to concrete with PF and SF + PF. The rate of reduction in strength is similar to that of GC-BF in CS, GC-SF in TS and FS.Originality/valuePerformance evaluation under fire exposure is necessary for FGC. In this study, we provided the mechanical behaviour and physical properties of SF, PF, and BF-based geopolymer concrete exposed to high temperatures, which were evaluated according to ISO standards. In addition, micro-structural behaviour and linear polynomials are observed.
目的目前建筑业正致力于设计碳足迹更小的可持续混凝土。考虑到这一点,开发了一种具有8和10 molarities(M)的纤维增强地质聚合物混凝土(FGC)。在高温下,混凝土的力学性能会恶化,在某些情况下,这与剥落有关,导致建筑物倒塌。设计/方法/方法在本研究中,用卷曲钢纤维(SF)、聚丙烯纤维(PF)、玄武岩纤维(BF)、由(SF+PF)组成的混合混合物、具有(SF+BF)的混合混合物和参考样品(不含纤维)制备了六种基于地质聚合物的混合比例。在温度暴露后,评估了超声波脉冲速度、受损混凝土的物理特性、混凝土的抗压强度损失(CS)、劈拉强度(TS)和抗弯强度(FS)。建立了混凝土剩余强度特性之间的多项式关系,并显示出良好的一致性。结果试验结果表明,在925°C(即加热60分钟)的温度暴露后,BF混凝土的CS损失较低。在TS和FS的情况下,具有SF的混凝土强度损失较小。在986°C和1029°C暴露后,与PF和SF+PF的混凝土相比,混合组合(SF+BF)的混凝土在CS、TS和FS方面表现出较低的强度劣化。强度降低率与CS中的GC-BF、TS和FS中的GC-SF相似。原始性/价值FGC在火灾暴露下的性能评估是必要的。在这项研究中,我们提供了SF、PF和BF基地质聚合物混凝土在高温下的力学行为和物理性能,并根据ISO标准进行了评估。此外,还观察到了微观结构行为和线性多项式。

PurposeTop-seat angle connection is known as one of the usual uncomplicated beam-to-column joints used in steel structures. This article investigates the fire performance of welded top-seat angle connections.Design/methodology/approachA finite element (FE) model, including nonlinear contact interactions, high-temperature properties of steel, and material and geometric nonlinearities was created for accomplishing the fire performance analysis. The FE model was verified by comparing its simulation results with test data. Using the verified model, 24 steel-framed top-seat angle connection assemblies are modeled. Parametric studies were performed employing the verified FE model to study the influence of critical factors on the performance of steel beams and their welded angle joints.FindingsThe results obtained from the parametric studies illustrate that decreasing the gap size and the top angle size and increasing the top angles thickness affect fire behavior of top-seat angle joints and decrease the beam deflection by about 16% at temperatures beyond 570 °C. Also, the fire-resistance rating of the beam with seat angle stiffener increases about 15%, compared to those with and without the web stiffener. The failure of the beam happens when the deflections become more than span/30 at temperatures beyond 576 °C. Results also show that load type, load ratio and axial stiffness levels significantly control the fire performance of the beam with top-seat angle connections in semi-rigid steel frames.Originality/valueDevelopment of design methodologies for these joints and connected beam in fire conditions is delayed by current building codes due to the lack of adequate understanding of fire behavior of steel beams with welded top-seat angle connections.
顶座角连接是钢结构中常用的简单的梁柱连接之一。本文研究了焊接顶座角连接的防火性能。设计/方法/方法建立了一个有限元(FE)模型,包括非线性接触相互作用、钢的高温特性、材料和几何非线性,以完成火灾性能分析。通过仿真结果与试验数据的对比,验证了有限元模型的正确性。利用验证的模型,对24个钢框架顶座角连接组件进行了建模。采用验证的有限元模型进行参数化研究,研究关键因素对钢梁及其焊接角节点性能的影响。参数化研究结果表明,在570℃以上温度下,减小缝隙尺寸和顶角尺寸以及增加顶角厚度会影响顶座角接头的防火性能,使梁挠度降低约16%。此外,与不加腹板加劲的梁相比,加座角加劲梁的耐火等级提高了约15%。当温度超过576°C时,梁的挠度超过跨度/30时发生破坏。结果还表明,荷载类型、荷载比和轴向刚度水平对半刚性钢框架顶座角连接梁的防火性能有显著影响。独创性/价值由于缺乏对带有焊接顶座角连接的钢梁的防火性能的充分理解,目前的建筑规范推迟了这些接头和连接梁在火灾条件下的设计方法的开发。

PurposeIn this study, the effects of strain rate on the bending strength of full-scale wide-flange steel beams have been examined at elevated temperatures. Both full-scale loaded heating tests under steady-state conditions and in-plane numerical analysis using a beam element have been employed.Design/methodology/approachThe load–deformation relationships in 385 N/mm2-class steel beam specimens was examined using steady-state tests at two loading rate values (0.05 and 1.00 kN/s) and at two constant member temperatures (600 and 700 °C). Furthermore, the stress–strain relationships considering the strain rate effects were proposed based on tensile coupon test results under various strain rate values. The in-plane elastoplastic numerical analysis was conducted considering the strain rate effect.FindingsThe experimental test results of the full-scale steel beam specimens confirmed that the bending strength increased with increase in strain rate. In addition, the analytical results agreed relatively well with the test results, and both strain and strain rate behaviours of a heated steel member, which were difficult to evaluate from the test results, could be quantified numerically.Originality/valueThe novelty of this study is the quantification of the strain rate effect on the bending strength of steel beams at elevated temperatures. The results clarify that the load–deformation relationship of steel beams could be evaluated by using in-plane analysis using the tensile coupon test results. The numerical simulation method can increase the accuracy of evaluation of the actual behaviour of steel members in case of fire.
目的在本研究中,研究了应变速率对全尺寸宽法兰钢梁在高温下抗弯强度的影响。在稳态条件下进行了全尺寸加载加热试验,并采用梁单元进行了面内数值分析。设计/方法/方法采用两种加载速率值(0.05和1.00 kN/s)和两种恒定构件温度(600和700°C)下的稳态试验,研究了385 N/mm2级钢梁试件的载荷-变形关系。基于不同应变率下的张片试验结果,建立了考虑应变率影响的应力应变关系。考虑应变率效应,进行了面内弹塑性数值分析。结果全尺寸钢梁试件的试验测试结果证实,随着应变速率的增大,抗弯强度增大。此外,分析结果与试验结果吻合较好,从试验结果难以评价的加热钢构件的应变和应变速率行为可以用数值方法量化。独创性/价值本研究的新颖之处在于量化了高温下应变率对钢梁抗弯强度的影响。结果表明,利用张拉试验结果进行面内分析可以评价钢梁的荷载-变形关系。数值模拟方法可以提高钢构件在火灾情况下的实际性能评估的准确性。

PurposeThe majority of previous studies made on Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) are limited to the utilisation of non-structural grade concrete due to unfavourable physical characteristics of RCA including the higher absorption of water, tending to increased water requirement of concrete. This seriously limits its applicability and as a result it reduces the usage of RCA in structural members. In the present study, the impact of hybrid fibres on cracking behaviour of RCA concrete beams along with the inclusion of reinforcing steel bars under two-point loading system exposed to different sustained elevated temperatures are being investigated.Design/methodology/approach RCA is substituted for Natural Coarse Aggregates (NCA) at 0, 50 and 100 percentages. The study involves testing of 150 mm cubes and beams of size (700 × 150 × 150) mm, i.e. with steel reinforcing bars along with the addition of 0.35% Steel fibres+ 0.15% polypropylene fibres. The specimens are being exposed to temperatures from 100° to 500°C with 100° interval for 2 h. Studies were made on the post crack analysis, which includes the measurement of crack width, crack length and load at first crack. The crack patterns were analysed in order to understand the effect of fibres and RCA at sustained elevated temperatures.FindingsThe result shows that ultimate load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete beams and load at first crack decreases with the raise in temperatures and increased percentage of RCA content in the mix. Further that 100% RCA replacement specimens showed lesser cracks when compared to the other mixes and the inclusion of fibres enhances the flexural capacity of members highlighting the importance of fibres.Practical implicationsRCA can be used for structural purposes and the study can be projected for assessing the performance of real structures with the extent of fire damage when recycled aggregates are used.Social implicationsMost of recycled materials can be used in the regular concrete which solves two problems namely avoiding the dumping of C&D waste and preventing the usage of natural aggregates. Hence the study provides sustainable option for the production of concrete.Originality/valueThe reduction in capacity of flexural members due to the utilisation of recycled aggregates can be negated by the usage of fibres. Hence improved flexural performance is observed for specimens with fibres at sustained elevated temperatures.
目的以前对再生混凝土骨料(RCA)的大多数研究仅限于使用非结构级混凝土,因为RCA的不利物理特性包括吸水率较高,往往会增加混凝土的需水量。这严重限制了其适用性,因此减少了RCA在结构构件中的使用。在本研究中,研究了在暴露于不同持续高温的两点荷载系统下,混合纤维对RCA混凝土梁的开裂行为以及钢筋的影响。设计/方法/方法RCA替代0、50和100百分比的天然粗骨料(NCA)。该研究涉及对尺寸为(700×150×150)mm的150 mm立方体和梁进行测试,即使用钢筋以及添加0.35%钢纤维+0.15%聚丙烯纤维。试样暴露在100°至500°C的温度下,间隔100°2小时。对裂纹后分析进行了研究,包括裂纹宽度、裂纹长度和首次裂纹载荷的测量。对裂纹模式进行了分析,以了解纤维和RCA在持续高温下的影响。结果表明,随着温度的升高和RCA掺量的增加,钢筋混凝土梁的极限承载力和初裂荷载均减小。此外,与其他混合物相比,100%RCA替换试样显示出较小的裂纹,并且纤维的加入增强了构件的抗弯能力,突出了纤维的重要性。实际含义RCA可用于结构目的,该研究可用于评估使用再生骨料时实际结构的性能和火灾损坏程度。社会影响大多数回收材料可以用于普通混凝土中,这解决了两个问题,即避免倾倒C&D废物和防止使用天然骨料。因此,该研究为混凝土生产提供了可持续的选择。独创性/价值由于使用再生骨料而导致的受弯构件承载力的降低可以通过使用纤维来抵消。因此,在持续升高的温度下,观察到具有纤维的试样的弯曲性能得到改善。

PurposeIn recent years, fire accidents in engineering structures have often been reported worldwide, leading to a severe risk to life and property safety. The present study is carried out to evaluate the performance of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and fly ash–blended laterized mortars at elevated temperatures.Design/methodology/approachThis test program includes the replacement of natural river sand with lateritic fine aggregates (lateritic FA) in terms of 0, 50 and 100%. Also, the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was replaced with fly ash and GGBS in terms of 10, 20, 30% and 20, 40 and 60%, respectively, for producing blended mortars.FindingsThis paper presents results related to the determination of residual compressive strengths of lateritic fine aggregates-based cement mortars with part replacement of cement by fly ash and GGBS exposed to elevated temperatures. The effect of elevated temperatures on the physical and mechanical properties was evaluated with the help of microstructure studies and the quantification of hydration products.Originality/valueA sustainable cement mortar was produced by replacing natural river sand with lateritic fine aggregates. The thermal strength deterioration features were assessed by exposing the control specimens and lateritic fine aggregates-based cement mortars to elevated temperatures. Changes in the mechanical properties were evaluated through a quantitative microstructure study using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The phase change of hydration products after exposure to elevated temperatures was qualitatively analyzed by greyscale thresholding of SEM images using Image J software.

PurposeIn fire resistance tests (FRTs) of building materials, a crucial criterion to pass the test procedure is to avoid the leakage of the hot flue gases caused by gaps and cracks occurring due to the thermal exposure. The present study's aim is to calculate the deformation of a steel door, which is embedded within a wall made of bricks, and qualitatively determine the flue gas leakage.Design/methodology/approachA computational fluid dynamics/finite element method (CFD/FEM) coupling was introduced representing an intermediate approach between a one-way and a full two-way coupling methodology, leading to a simplified two-way coupling (STWC). In contrast to a full two way-coupling, the heat transfer through the steel door was simulated based on a one-way approach. Subsequently, the predicted temperatures at the door from the one-way simulation were used in the following CFD/FEM simulation, where the fluid flow inside and outside the furnace as well as the deformation of the door were calculated simultaneously.FindingsThe simulation showed large gaps and flue gas leakage above the door lock and at the upper edge of the door, which was in close accordance to the experiment. Furthermore, it was found that STWC predicted similar deformations compared to the one-way coupling.Originality/valueSince two-way coupling approaches for fluid/structure interaction in fire research are computationally demanding, the number of studies is low. Only a few are dealing with the flue gas exit from rooms due to destruction of solid components. Thus, the present study is the first two-way approach dealing with flue gas leakage due to gap formation.
目的在建筑材料的耐火试验中,通过试验程序的一个关键标准是避免由于热暴露而产生的间隙和裂缝导致的热烟气泄漏。本研究的目的是计算嵌入砖墙内的钢门的变形,并定性地确定烟气泄漏。设计/方法/方法引入了计算流体力学/有限元法(CFD/FEM)耦合,代表了单向和全双向耦合方法之间的中间方法,从而产生了简化的双向耦合(STWC)。与完全双向耦合相比,基于单向方法模拟了通过钢门的传热。随后,在接下来的CFD/FEM模拟中使用了单向模拟中预测的门处温度,其中同时计算了炉内外的流体流动以及门的变形。结果模拟结果表明,门锁上方和门的上边缘存在较大的缝隙和烟气泄漏,与实验结果非常吻合。此外,研究发现,与单向耦合相比,STWC预测了类似的变形。原创性/价值由于火灾研究中流体/结构相互作用的双向耦合方法在计算上要求很高,因此研究数量很少。只有少数人在处理因固体成分破坏而从房间排出的烟气。因此,本研究是第一个处理由于间隙形成而导致的烟气泄漏的双向方法。

PurposeGlass material is largely used for load-bearing components in buildings. For this reason, standardized calculation methods can be used in support of safe structural design in common loading and boundary conditions. Differing from earlier literature efforts, the present study elaborates on the load-bearing capacity, failure time and fire endurance of ordinary glass elements under fire exposure and sustained mechanical loads, with evidence of major trends in terms of loading condition and cross-sectional layout. Traditional verification approaches for glass in cold conditions (i.e. stress peak check) and fire endurance of load-bearing members (i.e. deflection and deflection rate limits) are assessed based on parametric numerical simulations.Design/methodology/approachThe mechanical performance of structural glass elements in fire still represents an open challenge for design and vulnerability assessment. Often, special fire-resisting glass solutions are used for limited practical applications only, and ordinary soda-lime silica glass prevails in design applications for load-bearing members. Moreover, conventional recommendations and testing protocols in use for load-bearing members composed of traditional constructional materials are not already addressed for glass members. This paper elaborates on the fire endurance and failure detection methods for structural glass beams that are subjected to standard ISO time–temperature for fire exposure and in-plane bending mechanical loads. Fire endurance assessment methods are discussed with the support of Finite Element (FE) numerical analyses.FindingsBased on extended parametric FE analyses, multiple loading, geometrical and thermo-mechanical configurations are taken into account for the analysis of simple glass elements under in-plane bending setup and fire exposure. The comparative results show that – in most of cases – thermal effects due to fire exposure have major effects on the actual load-bearing capacity of these members. Moreover, the conventional stress peak verification approach needs specific elaborations, compared to traditional calculations carried out in cold conditions.Originality/valueThe presented numerical results confirm that the fire endurance analysis of ordinary structural glass elements is a rather complex issue, due to combination of multiple aspects and influencing parameters. Besides, FE simulations can provide useful support for a local and global analysis of major degradation and damage phenomena, and thus support the definition of simple and realistic verification procedures for fire exposed glass members.
目的玻璃材料主要用于建筑物的承重构件。因此,标准化的计算方法可以用于支持常见荷载和边界条件下的安全结构设计。与早期的文献工作不同,本研究详细阐述了普通玻璃元件在火灾暴露和持续机械载荷下的承载能力、失效时间和耐火性,并证明了载荷条件和横截面布局方面的主要趋势。基于参数数值模拟,评估了玻璃在寒冷条件下的传统验证方法(即应力峰值检查)和承载构件的耐火性(即挠度和挠度极限)。设计/方法/方法结构玻璃元件在火灾中的机械性能仍然是设计和脆弱性评估的一个悬而未决的挑战。通常,特殊的防火玻璃解决方案仅用于有限的实际应用,普通的钠钙硅玻璃在承重构件的设计应用中占主导地位。此外,由传统结构材料组成的承载构件所使用的传统建议和测试协议尚未涉及玻璃构件。本文阐述了结构玻璃梁在标准ISO时间-温度下暴露于火灾和平面内弯曲机械载荷下的耐火极限和失效检测方法。在有限元数值分析的支持下,讨论了耐火极限评估方法。发现基于扩展参数有限元分析,在平面内弯曲设置和火灾暴露下,简单玻璃元件的分析考虑了多种载荷、几何和热机械配置。比较结果表明,在大多数情况下,火灾暴露引起的热效应对这些构件的实际承载能力有重大影响。此外,与在寒冷条件下进行的传统计算相比,传统的应力峰值验证方法需要具体的阐述。原创性/价值所提供的数值结果证实,由于多个方面和影响参数的结合,普通结构玻璃构件的耐火性分析是一个相当复杂的问题。此外,有限元模拟可以为主要退化和损伤现象的局部和全局分析提供有用的支持,从而支持定义火灾暴露玻璃构件的简单而现实的验证程序。

PurposeBeginners and even experienced ones have difficulties in completing the structural fire analysis due to numerical difficulties such as convergence errors and singularity and have to spend a lot of time making many repetitive changes on the model. The aim of this article is to highlight the advantages of explicit solver which can eliminate the mentioned difficulties in finite element analysis containing highly nonlinear contacts, clearance between modeled parts at the beginning and large deflections because of high temperature. This article provides important information, especially for researchers and engineers who are new to structural fire analysis.Design/methodology/approachThe finite element method is utilized to achieve mentioned purposes. First, a comparative study is conducted between implicit and explicit solvers by using Abaqus. Then, a validation process is carried out to illustrate the explicit process by using sequentially coupled heat transfer and structural analysis.FindingsExplicit analysis offers an easier solution than implicit analysis for modeling multi-bolted connections under high temperatures. An optimum mesh density for bolted connections is presented to reflect the realistic structural behavior. Presented explicit process with the offered mesh density is used in the validation of an experimental study on multi-bolted splice connection under ISO 834 standard fire curve. A good agreement is achieved.Originality/valueWhat makes the study valuable is that the points to be considered in the structural fire analysis are examined and it is a guide that future researchers can benefit from. This is especially true for modeling and analysis of multi-bolted connections in finite element software under high temperatures. The article can help to shorten and even eliminate the iterative debugging phases, which is a problematic and very time-consuming process for many researchers.
由于收敛误差和奇异性等数值困难,初学者甚至有经验的人在完成结构火灾分析时都存在困难,并且需要花费大量时间对模型进行多次重复修改。本文的目的是强调显式求解器的优点,它可以消除上述困难在有限元分析中包含高度非线性接触,模型零件之间的间隙在开始和大挠度由于高温。本文提供了重要的信息,特别是对研究人员和工程师谁是新的结构火灾分析。设计/方法学/方法采用有限元法来达到上述目的。首先,利用Abaqus对隐式求解和显式求解进行了比较研究。然后,通过顺序耦合传热和结构分析对显式过程进行验证。对于高温下多螺栓连接的建模,显式分析提供了比隐式分析更简单的解决方案。提出了反映实际结构性能的螺栓连接的最佳网格密度。在iso834标准火焰曲线下,用给出的网格密度给出的显式过程验证了多螺栓拼接连接的实验研究。达成了很好的协议。独创性/价值本研究的价值在于对结构火灾分析中需要考虑的要点进行了检验,为今后的研究人员提供了有益的指导。这对于高温下有限元软件中多螺栓连接的建模和分析尤其适用。本文可以帮助缩短甚至消除迭代调试阶段,这对许多研究人员来说是一个有问题且非常耗时的过程。

PurposeElevated temperature material properties are essential in predicting structural member's behavior in high-temperature exposures such as fire. Even though experimental methodologies are available to determine these properties, advanced equipment with high costs is required to perform those tests. Therefore, performing those experiments frequently is not feasible, and the development of numerical techniques is beneficial. A numerical technique is proposed in this study to determine the temperature-dependent thermal properties of the material using the fire test results based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based Finite Element (FE) model.Design/methodology/approachAn ANN-based FE model was developed in the Matlab program to determine the elevated temperature thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity and the product of specific heat and density of a material. The temperature distribution obtained from fire tests is fed to the ANN-based FE model and material properties are predicted to match the temperature distribution.FindingsElevated temperature thermal properties of normal-weight concrete (NWC), gypsum plasterboard and lightweight concrete were predicted using the developed model, and good agreement was observed with the actual material properties measured experimentally. The developed method could be utilized to determine any materials' elevated temperature material properties numerically with the adequate temperature distribution data obtained during a fire or heat transfer test.Originality/valueTemperature-dependent material properties are important in predicting the behavior of structural elements exposed to fire. This research study developed a numerical technique utilizing ANN theories to determine elevated temperature thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity and product of specific heat and density. Experimental methods are available to evaluate the material properties at high temperatures. However, these testing equipment are expensive and sophisticated; therefore, these equipment are not popular in laboratories causing a lack of high-temperature material properties for novel materials. However conducting a fire test to evaluate fire performance of any novel material is the common practice in the industry. ANN-based FE model developed in this study could utilize those fire testing results of the structural member (temperature distribution of the member throughout the fire tests) to predict the material's thermal properties.
目的高温材料特性对于预测结构构件在高温暴露(如火灾)下的行为至关重要。尽管有实验方法可以确定这些特性,但进行这些测试需要高成本的先进设备。因此,频繁地进行这些实验是不可行的,数值技术的发展是有益的。本研究提出了一种数值技术,利用基于人工神经网络(ANN)的有限元(FE)模型的火灾试验结果来确定材料的温度相关热性能。设计/方法/方法在Matlab程序中开发了一个基于人工神经网络的有限元模型,以确定材料的高温热扩散率、热导率以及比热和密度的乘积。将从火灾试验中获得的温度分布输入到基于人工神经网络的有限元模型中,并预测材料特性以匹配温度分布。结果:利用所建立的模型预测了正常重量混凝土、石膏板和轻质混凝土的高温热性能,并与实验测量的实际材料性能吻合良好。所开发的方法可用于通过火灾或传热试验期间获得的足够的温度分布数据,以数字方式确定任何材料的高温材料特性。独创性/价值与温度相关的材料特性对于预测暴露在火灾中的结构元件的行为非常重要。本研究开发了一种利用人工神经网络理论确定高温热扩散率、热导率以及比热和密度乘积的数值技术。实验方法可用于评估材料在高温下的性能。然而,这些测试设备既昂贵又复杂;因此,这些设备在实验室中不受欢迎,导致新型材料缺乏高温材料性能。然而,进行防火测试以评估任何新型材料的防火性能是该行业的常见做法。本研究中开发的基于人工神经网络的有限元模型可以利用结构构件的火灾测试结果(整个火灾测试过程中构件的温度分布)来预测材料的热性能。
