Hygrothermal Behavior of Interior Basement Insulation
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-17)An uninsulated basement can contribute a significant fraction of a building’s total heating load: insulating the basement can provide significant energy savings. In addition, the desire of homeowners to maximize usable ... -
Storey-based stability of steel frames subjected to post-earthquake fire
(Fire Technology, 2020-02)Post-earthquake fires occur after earthquakes and have commonly been encountered throughout history. The fires are particularly deadly and threaten the stability of buildings as possible structural damages caused by seismic ... -
Storey-based stability of unbraced steel frames under piece-linear temperature distributions
(Elsevier, 2019-05-21)There are many cases where the elastic modulus of a structural member will vary longitudinally, such as when a steel column is heated by fire. In such a case, the fire can compromise the integrity of the structural frame. ...
