• Abstract

  Exposure to fire conditions can cause rapid damage to reinforced concrete structures by reducing its resistant capacity; as a result, even today these casualties cause irreparable material and immaterial losses. It is understood, therefore, that the technological improvement of structural elements is essential for the advancement of fire safety engineering. A form of improvement that has …

  Design of reinforced concrete beams submitted to fire using fire resistant steel reinforcement bars, BP.MS

• Abstract

  The Brazilian legislation requires the structural fire design. The structural fire engineering demands deep knowledge of structural engineering at room temperature. A slab fire design method, including the membrane effect, has had good repercussion among the international researchers. This research in level of Scientific Initiation aims to supply the theoretical base on the behavior of th…

  Study on reinforced concrete slabs design at room temperature: a basis for future analysis on slabs due to fire conditions, BP.IC

• Abstract

  The University of Coimbra and the National Laboratory of Civil Engineering of Portugal - LNEC, counting on the participation of more than ten of Portuguese researchers of the area of engineering fire safety, had organized and will offer to a post-graduation course strict sense in this area. International experts will also participate. I was invited by the Prof. João Paulo of the Universit…
