| Abstract |
TSC composite beam is a type of innovative composite structures, composed of a concrete beam enclosed by steel plates in its three sides. The study of composite structures in fire is generally focused to investigate the structural performance in relation to the effect of strength and stiffness reduction of steel section, at which a tensile block forms in its flexural mechanism. This research also aims to experimentally assess the in-fire performance of the TSC composite beam with respect to various structural aspects such as load ratio, additional reinforcements, insulation. |
