Numerical Study on the Post-earthquake Fire Behavior of Intermediate Steel Moment Frames
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemi, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor)
Abstract
Nowadays, proper design and retrofitting of structures against natural and manmade disasters, is among the main concerns of researchers and designers in order to reduce financial and human costs. Extensive research has been carried out on the structures resistance against earthquake up to now. Although, the vast amount of research has resulted various regulations and guidelines, there is still a long way ahead to achieve the desirable results. Due to high sensitivity of the steel to temperature variations, fire exposure is more destructive for steel structures compared with the concrete ones. The performance of an intermediate three-storey steel moment frame with 4 spans was studied in this...
Synthesis and Investigation of Properties of Intumescent Fireproofing Paint with Oxide Nanoparticles
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Dolati, Abolghasem (Supervisor)
Abstract
Intumescent paints are coatings designed for passive fire protection of steel and other materials. In this research, the performance of water-based intumescent coating with vinyl acetate resin for cellulose fire conditions and epoxy-based coatings for hydrocarbon fire conditions has been investigated. The fire resistance of coatings was evaluated according to the ASTM E119 standard for water-based coating and UL1709 standard for epoxy-based intumescent coating. For the water-based intumescent coating, the expansion of char was investigated in a furnace with a temperature of 800°C for 1 hour. Thermal decomposition was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Also, flammability was...

Abstract
As steel is highly sensitive to temperature variations, fire exposure is more destructive in the case of steel structures in comparison to the concrete ones. The performance of an intermediate three-story steel moment frame with 4 spans was studied under the service load, thermal load and post-earthquake fire in this paper. Also, the effects of passive fire-protection materials such as ordinary cement-based and fire-retardant coatings were investigated. To model and analyze the structure; Abaqus software is utilized. In order to apply the earthquake effect, the push-over analysis method is employed. Changes in the stories deflection, endurance time and growth of nonlinear regions due to...
