An approach for developing probabilistic models for temperature-dependent properties of construction materials from fire tests and small data (2022)
Journal Article

Probabilistic approaches provide a more realistic look into assessing structures under fire conditions and overcome some limitations observed in the more traditional (deterministic) approaches. These approaches have also been introduced to the fire e...

Enhancing fire resistance of reinforced concrete beams through sacrificial reinforcement (2022)
Journal Article

Due to the superior properties of concrete, structural members made of concrete often satisfy fire requirements specified in codes and standards without special installations or the use of external insulation. A closer examination into fire codal pro... Read More about Enhancing fire resistance of reinforced concrete beams through sacrificial reinforcement.

Generalized temperature-dependent material models for compressive strength of masonry using fire tests, statistical methods and artificial intelligence (2022)
Journal Article

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...
