Modelling the Thermal Effects on Structural Components of Composite Slabs under Fire Conditions

“…In the present paper, which is an improved version of the conference paper [15], the authors improve the analytical temperature calculation method, following the simplified calculation method in Annex D of Eurocode 1994 1-2. This analytical method allows the calculation of temperatures in different composite slab components (lower and upper flange, web and reinforcing bars) for different fire ratings.…”
