Abstract
The specification for this research work was to establish the effects of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) on bending, shear torsional and compressive modes of failure and to establish the development of internal strains and cracking. Phase 2 of the project was a series of tests dealing with the effect of ASR on various failure modes. This report presents the results of the work carried out in Phase 2 and discusses their implications for the assessment of structures affected by ASR.

SCI RT1187 Guidance on the Fire Protection of Beams with Web Openings
Author: Dr W I Simms | Size: 0.58 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: SCI | Year: 2008 | pages: 59
This report provides details of the assessment methodology and calculation procedure adopted by SCI to produce tables of limiting temperature for individual intumescent coatings based on thermal performance demonstrated by testing and assessment in accordance with the ASFP protocol for beams with web openings. A description of the structural calculation model is provided, including the method of automatically generating beam geometries and the thermal model used to determine the temperature variation on the cross section of beams with web openings. The report also includes a worked example to illustrate the calculation procedure required for a single value of limiting temperature given in the design tables supplied to intumescent manufacturers.

Slimdek® is an engineered flooring solution developed to offer a cost-effective, service-integrated, minimal depth floor for use in multi-storey steel-framed buildings with grids up to 9m x 9m.
Slimdek extends the range of cost-effective steel options for modern buildings. Ease of planning and servicing, combined with a reduction in building height, gives significant cost and speed of construction benefits.
Slimdek is especially economical for highly serviced buildings. Flexibility of routing services without constraint and the ability to accommodate services between the ribs can lead to substantial savings in the cost of the structure and the service zone is much removed .
