    Abstract: Modern day construction is widely influenced using Steel-Concrete composite columns. The rapid growth in Steel-Concrete composite construction has significantly reduced the use of conventional Reinforced Cement Concrete (R.C.C) as well as other steel construction practices. Steel-Concrete composite construction gained an extensive receiving around ... Show More

    Abstract: When a fire occurs in a ventilation confined compartment, the fire gradually weakened and finally self-extinguishes due to the oxygen concentration in the compartment will decrease and eventually below the flammable limit. Meanwhile, a large amount of high-temperature combustible substance is generated in the compartment during this period by pyrol... Show More
