Membrane action of unrestrained lightly reinforced concrete slabs at large displacements
TL;DR: In this article, a new theoretical approach is presented which is valid for both square and rectangular slabs and conforms to the mode of behaviour observed in tests, and a prediction for ultimate collapse of the slab due to fracture of the reinforcement is also presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behaviour of concrete floor slabs at ambient and elevated temperatures
Colin Bailey,WS Toh +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple design method was used to predict the membrane action of unrestrained concrete, or concrete and steel composite, floors under fire conditions, including the refinement of the assumed in-plane stress pattern and a prediction of when concrete crushing occurs in the proximity of the corners of the slab.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small-scale concrete slab tests at ambient and elevated temperatures
Colin Bailey,WS Toh +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results of test results of forty-eight horizontally unrestrained two-way spanning reinforced concrete slabs at ambient and elevated temperatures were presented, showing that all the slabs failed by fracture of reinforcement, with displacements ranging from span/12 to span/6.
Journal ArticleDOI
Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of concrete at high temperatures: Experimental investigations
TL;DR: In this article, the Impulse Excitation Technique was used as an innovative testing technique to investigate elastic material properties of fire-exposed concrete and proposed new elastic material formulations for fire exposed concrete.

A design-oriented model for the collapse resistance of composite floors subjected to column loss
Yasser Alashker,Sherif El-Tawil +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a design-oriented model is proposed for computing the load-resisting capacity of composite steel-concrete floors subjected to interior column loss, based on the premise that floor collapse is resisted through the development of membrane action in the slab elements and catenary forces in the steel beams.

Transient thermal strain of concrete: literature review, conditions within specimen and behaviour of individual constituents
TL;DR: A literature review of transient thermal creep of concrete is presented in this article, revealing inadequate understanding of this subject for temperatures above 100°C and a lack of data for conditions pertinent to the analysis of concrete structures during first-time heating.

The behaviour of full-scale steel-framed buildings subjected to compartment fires
Colin Bailey,T Lennon,DB Moore +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results from two fire tests on a steel-jiramed building were presented, showing that the actual global and local structural behaviour of buildings is different, and typically far better; than that shown in standard small-scale fire tests.
