Fire Resistance of Steel Beams with Intumescent Coating Exposed to Fire Using ANSYS and Machine Learning by Igor Džolev, Sofija Kekez-Baran, Andrija Rašeta

“…Therefore, fire protection measures are applied to prolong the duration between the onset of fire exposure and the final loss of load-bearing function of a steel structure. The most common passive fire protection measure is the application of intumescent coating (IC), a thin film that expands at elevated temperatures and forms an insulating char layer of lower thermal conductivity. …”

Analysis of the use of fiber concrete in lintel beams as an alternative to traditional prefabricated solutions by Szymon Sawczyński, Anees Ahmed Vighio, Muhammad Yousaf Raza Taseer

“…The results indicate that despite having a lower load-bearing capacity compared to prefabricated beams, fiber-reinforced concrete can be a viable option in certain scenarios, particularly where lintels do not serve a primary load-bearing function. Additionally, the article aligns with contemporary construction trends, such as the use of waste materials in concrete reinforcement, by considering the incorporation of plastic fibers as an alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. …”
