Recent years have seen a very significant increase in the development of cement-replacement products, owing to the environmental challenges associated with ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Geopolymer concrete replaces cement with alternative binders such as fly ash and ground granular blast furnace slag (GGBS), and the behaviour in terms of the work...

Cold-formed steel (CFS) sections are light gauge materials widely used to construct industrial structures. CFS construction is gaining more interest among researchers, construction industries, and structural engineers due to its lightweight and cost-effective design. Fire safety in the building is a significant factor to be considered in the design...

Purpose Most of the industrial buildings which are designed to moderate loads are constructed using light gauge cold-formed steel (CFS) sections. Residual mechanical properties of CFS sections exposed to elevated temperature need to be investigated as it is necessary to predict the deterioration of elements to avoid failure of the structure or its...

Concrete and reinforcement steel are essential building materials widely used in composite construction due to their advantages, such as strength, durability and ease of availability. Fire is one of the critical hazards that causes severe damage to the structure and leads to progressive collapse. Due to the intensity of fire exposure, the concrete...
