Partial fire protection of composite slabs
article
An international research project on fire-exposed composite structures has been conducted jointly between research institutes in the Netherlands, France and Luxembourg. The Centre Technique Industriel de la Construction Metallique (CTICM, France) and Arbed, Luxembourg, focus on composite steel-concrete beams. TNO Building and Construction Research and Delft University of Technology are concerned with composite slabs. The aim of this project is to develop simple calculation rules for fire resistance assessment. Funding is provided by the European Coal and Steel Community. The fire resistance of continuous composite slabs can economically be improved by means of partial protection near internal supports. In this paper, the results of an initial investigation are reported. © 1993.
