Selvarajah Ramesh, Mina S. Seif, Lisa Choe

Two 6.2-m span I-shaped structural steel beams were tested under combined structural and open flame localized fire loads. Two different support conditions for the beam ends were considered: (i) simple support, and (ii) double-angles bolted to laterally

Large-Scale, Real-Fire Structural Testing: A unique testing and metrology challenge

September 8, 2017

Author(s)

Matthew S. Hoehler

This talk will address large-scale experiments of structures subject to real fires and the challenges associated with measurement of structural performance in this environment. While dramatic structural collapse during a fire is thankfully rare, our
