Behavior of Steel Structures in Fire Following Earthquakes

Creator:

Maddalozzo, Walker A.

Abstract:

Fire following earthquake (FFE) events are cascading hazards that have caused great damage in the past and pose a continued threat to our communities. The increased risk for fire after a seismic event stems from potential damage to utilities such as gas or fuel pipelines, which can lead to ignition....

The Fundamental Behavior of CLT Floor-to-Wall Connections in Fire

Creator:

Redus, James Aaron

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the fundamental behavior of CLT floor-to-wall connections during a fire. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panelized structures rely on floor-to-wall connections for the load path and stability of the structure. Additionally, the fire performance of these connections is critical to prevent horizontal or vertical fire spread within these...

Advancements Toward the Simulation of Steel Structures in Fire Using OpenSees

Creator:

Gordon, James A.

Abstract:

Since the collapse of World Trade Center building number seven (WTC7), significant research has been done to understand the behavior of steel structures in fire and enable engineers to account for the behavior of steel framing systems exposed to fire during design. Despite these efforts, there are still significant barriers...
