SUMMARYAn experimental research programme was carried out during the years 1994-2001 in the Laboratory of Steel Structures at Helsinki University of Technology in order to investigate the mechanical properties of several structural steels at elevated temperatures by using mainly the transient state tensile test method. The aim was to produce accurate material data for use in different structural analyses. The main test results are public and they are available for other researchers.In this paper the experimental test results for the mechanical properties of the studied steel grades S350GD+Z, S355 and S460M at fire temperatures are presented with a short description of the testing facilities. A test series was also carried out for cold-formed material taken from rectangular hollow sections of structural steel S355J2H and these test results are also given in this report.The mechanical properties of structural steel after cooling down have also been examined briefly and these test results are given in this report.The test results were used to determine the temperature dependencies of the mechanical properties, i.e. yield strength, modulus of elasticity and thermal elongation, of the studied steel material at temperatures up to 9508C. The test results are compared with the material model for steel according to Eurocode 3: Part 1.2.
The neonatologists played a central role in facilitating parental participation and their interaction during medical rounds were characterised by the level of parent participation in decision-making.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
