Effectiveness of composite jacket strengthening of reinforced concrete columns under eccentric load after fire exposure by Mohammed Salah Dimia, Ahmed Rafik Belakhdar, Rachid Rabehi, Mohamed Baghdadi, Antonio Marcos de Oliveira Siqueira, Julio Cesar Costa Campos

“…As a second step, the columns were strengthened with a 100-mm concrete jacket and shirts supported by a steel structure consisting of vertical angles and horizontal spreaders to determine the effectiveness of the strengthening in increasing the resistance of these damaged columns. After the fire, this type of reinforcement is considered better than reinforcement with concrete shirts, reinforcement with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, and others because of its advantages. …”

Mechanical Performance Analysis of Steel Beam-Column Joints in Fabricated Multirise Steel Structures after Fire by Fang Liu, Xiuli Wang, Bin Cai, Xuguang Li, Liqi Yang

“…Meanwhile, when the steel body is subjected to the same load ratio, different bearing capacity β has little effect on the fire resistance limit of the steel body. This thesis focuses on a series of changes in the steel of fabricated multistory and high-rise steel buildings after the fire, hoping to provide a reference for the relevant teams of steel construction and make the future housing construction safer.…”

Fire Protection of Utility Pine Wood Poles by José Saporiti Machado, Elisabete Cordeiro, Sofia Knapic, Telmo Morgado, Alfredo M. P. G. Dias

“…Following these initial tests, a selected solution based on fabric protection was tested under simulated wildland fire conditions. The results obtained showed that fabric-based protection delivered satisfactory results, being easily applied on site, allowing the protection of poles already in service and the replacement of fire protection devices after a fire occurs.…”

Performance of sewage sludge reuse in the manufacturing of fired bricks by K. Moulato, M. Ammari, L. Ben Allal

“…The bulk density analysis of brick sample 1 was 1.57 grams per cubic centimeter and classifies it as a light building material. Above 20 percent of samples substitution, their strength becomes less reliable, due to the large amount of organic matter that burns during firing which creates pores in the finished product.CONCLUSION: These results suggest that thermal processes limit the leaching of metals and are practically inaccessible to the ecosystem, so the brick cannot harm the environment. …”
