[EN] Composite steel-concrete beams embedded in the slab (slim-floor) are being increasingly used worldwide in new residential industrial and commercial building projects, as well as in unique infrastructures. However, the ...
Previous investigations have revealed the unsafety of the current calculation methods in Eurocode 4 for evaluating the fire resistance of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns, which has given place to a movement ...
While the fire behaviour of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns with circular and square cross-section has been well established based on experimental programs and numerical investigations, the information about ...

[ES] El presente trabajo fin de máster presenta lo concerniente al estudio experimental del comportamiento de tubos de acero rellenos de hormigón de ultra alta resistencia, alta resistencia, así como de resistencia normal. ...
[EN] Slim-floor beams have attracted the attention of designers in the last decades, owing to their ability for supporting intermediate loads without increasing the floor thickness. However, the behaviour of this type of ...
[EN] The slim-floor beam is a composite concrete-steel beam fully integrated into the floor depth that was developed at the beginning of the 1990s. This composite beam presents a very good behaviour during the fire event ...
[EN] Slim-floor beams are a novel typology of steel beams where the steel profile is fully embedded within the concrete floor depth. While the use of this system is increasing fast in the construction practice, the available ...
