Fire and Concrete Structures - Portland Cement Association

fire and Concrete Structures Authors: David N. Bilow, , , Director, Engineered Structures , Portland Cement Association 5420 Old Orchard Road, Skokie, IL 60077,Phone 847-972-9064, email: Mahmoud E. Kamara, PhD., Senior Structural Engineer, Portland Cement Association 5420 Old Orchard Road, Skokie, IL 60077, Phone 847-972-9012, email: Abstract After the 9-11 attack on the world Trade Center, interest in the design of Structures for fire greatly increased. Some engineers have promoted the use of advanced analytical models to determine fire growth within a compartment and have used finite element models of structural components to determine temperatures within a component by heat transfer analysis.

a new base layer. The FDR process begins with using a road reclaimer to pulverize an existing asphalt pavement and a portion of the underlying base, subbase, and/or subgrade. Usually the pulverized material is uniformly blended with an additional stabilizing material such as portland cement to provide an upgraded, homogeneous material.

shows samples of the fine and coarse aggregates. Except for white portland cement, the portland cements were about the same shade of gray (Fig. 1). Individual particles of fine aggregate (typically erosion sediment largely consisting of granite, quartz, and feldspar) varied in color, and the lightest color fine aggregate was limestone (Fig. 2).

of heating address the heat loss of the structure, while radiant floor systems address the heat loss of the human body. Radiant floors take advantage of concrete’s thermal mass: they absorb and store heat, then conduct it directly to the feet and to objects in the room that in turn re-radiate heat. Radiant heat warms objects, not just the air ...
