Designing Steel Bridges against Fire Hazard- Juniper Publishers

Juniper Publishers- Journal of Civil Engineering Abstract Bridge fires can lead to significant economic and public losses; however, no provisions are specified for fire resistance of bridge structural members in current codes and standards. This paper presents an approach for mitigating fire hazard in steel bridges. The approach comprises of two steps, estimating fire risk in a bridge, and then developing strategies for enhancing fire resistance of a critical bridge. An analytical procedure is employed to derive a fire-based importance factor to estimate the vulnerability of a bridge to fire, and then a sequential finite element analysis is carried out to develop strategies for mitigating fire hazard in that bridge. The validity and applicability of this approach is demonstrated through a case study on a steel bridge that experienced fire recently. Keywords: Fire hazard; Bridges; Fire; Mitigation strategies; Finite element analysis ...

Circular Concrete: an Organisational Revolution?- Juniper Publishers

 Civil Engineering Research Journal- Juniper Publishers Opinion Last summer, the European HISER conference surprised everybody with the announcement from one of Tongji University’s top institutes that high-rise towers had been built from recycle concrete in areas of China that are prone to earth quakes. At the same conference, Francois de Larrard, research director of Lafarge Holcim, informed the attendees that, from that moment onwards, the company offered recycle mortar as a standard product and that engineers who felt insufficiently prepared for the new material could refer to their new handbook for help. The surprise was understandable because the research that led to the breakthroughs highlighted at the conference had not been well published and the few scattered results that had reached the journals did not provide a complete picture. Before the conference, most engineers had believed that it was not economically feasible to produce high-grade new concrete from end-of-life (E...
