Generalized temperature-dependent material models for compressive strength of masonry using fire tests, statistical methods and artificial intelligence (2022)
Journal Article
Daware, A., Naser, M. Z., & Karaki, G. (2022). Generalized temperature-dependent material models for compressive strength of masonry using fire tests, statistical methods and artificial intelligence. Architecture, Structures and Construction, 2(2), 223-229. https://doi.org/10.1007/s44150-021-00019-4

Masonry has superior fire resistance properties stemming from its inert characteristics, and slow degradation of mechanical properties. However, once exposed to fire conditions, masonry undergoes a series of physio-chemical changes. Such changes are...
