Notes: Some or the results of an investigation in which the structural action in a two-way slab and composite beam structure subjected to a compartment fire has been explored. The results show that thermal expansion dominates the response of highly redundant structures under local fires, and that local yielding and large deflections can be benefitial in reducing damage to the complete structure.Related records: En: Fire Safety Journal : the official journal of the International Association for Fire Safety Science. - Oxford : Elsevier Science. - Vol. 35 nº 3, October 2000 ; p. 165-188Materia / lugar / evento: Seguridad contra incendios Extinción de incendios Edificios de gran altura Vigas Estructuras de acero Comportamiento de estructuras Comportamiento de los materiales frente al fuego Comportamiento del fuego Análisis térmico Aceros a altas temperaturas Otros autores: Sanad, A.
