Sentence examples for behaviour under fire from inspiring English sources

However, they are susceptible to various buckling modes including a distortional mode and hence show complex behaviour under fire conditions.

A good engineering assessment of the fire safety of a building structure should be based on a sound understanding of the mechanics of its behaviour under fire.

Stress-based design models, which are commonly used to explain local buckling at ambient temperatures, are not ideal for describing local buckling behaviour under fire conditions.

Fire resistance tests were conducted on an intermediate scale oven to investigate the behaviour under fire (ISO 834) of loaded CFRP-strengthened RC beams.

The restraint provided by shear walls in the considered braced frame and the use of non-tensioned flexural reinforcement affected the vertical displacement behaviour under fire conditions, but did not affect the fire resistance due to the predicted tensile splitting failure mode.

CONDUCT UNDER FIRE, by John A. Glusman.

ROSE UNDER FIRE By Elizabeth Wein Hyperion, $17.99.

Finite element models of gypsum plasterboard panels were then developed to simulate their thermal behaviour under standard fire conditions.

Also, better understanding of the structural performance of the columns in the cold condition is essential to analyse the column behaviour under severe fire conditions.

However, such applications are still recent and there are still unresolved questions regarding the long-term durability of FRP reinforcements or structural elements under service conditions, and their behaviour under accidental fire events as well.

These limits are needed in describing the behaviour of members under fire loading, since the development of benign catenary action in a restrained beam that has received widespread research attention in fire engineering design is reliant on the formation of plastic hinges, and of the influence of local buckling on the formation of these hinges.
