      Adequacy of a structural fire design can in theory be demonstrated through a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) where the compliance with tolerability limits and the ALARP requirement are explicitly ascertained. However, ...
    • Maximizing information obtained from standardized fire tests using a Bayesian framework

      Current practice is mostly focused on prescriptive design approaches where the performance of the structure in case of fire is assessed based on its performance in standardized fire tests. Those tests indicate whether the ...
    • Simplified modelling of the performance of concrete tunnels during fire and post-fire damage classification

      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
      The performance of concrete tunnel structures during and after fire is not well understood. This is an obstacle to the adoption of risk-based approaches for fire safety design of tunnel structures. Upon the request of the ...
    • Structural reliability of hollow core slabs considering compressive membrane action 

      Autor: Thienpont, Thomas; Van Coile, Ruben; De Corte, Wouter; Caspeele, Robby
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
      Compressive membrane action can considerably improve the load bearing capacity of concrete slabs and beams in case of excessive loaded due to an accidental event. Currently, only limited research has been focusing on ...
