Calculation of a fibre concrete block as a part of locally reinforced truss nodes made of square hollow sections by L. R. Gimranov, R. G. Gainetdinov, L. R. Khairullin, Abdurahman Pazhwak

“…The significance of the obtained results for the construction industry consists in the fact that the possible approaches to the definition of different methods of calculation of fibre concrete block as a part of reinforced nodes of trusses made of square hollow sections were considered in order to reduce metal consumption and deformability. The results obtained in numerical studies of the base stiffness factor of fibre concrete block and the results obtained using the software package АNSYS showed that they are close to the results of calculating the stiffness factor of fibre concrete block in locally reinforced nodes of trusses made of square hollow sections reliably.…”

Investigating Fire Collapse Early Warning Systems for Portal Frames by Ming Xie, Fangbo Xu, Zhangdong Wang, Li’e Yin, Xiangdong Wu, Mengqi Xu, Xiang Li

“…Existing early warning methods mainly use characteristic parameters such as temperature, vibration, and structural deformation. Due to the complexity of an actual fire, it is difficult to accurately predict the critical temperature of fire−induced instability in columns and the failure mode after the instability, and there are deviations in the collapse warnings. …”
