Abstract
In the present work, a simplified hydro-thermal model for pore pressure calculation in concrete exposed to high temperatures is presented. The model is based on heat and mass transfer analysis in multi-phase porous media. The model has been structured in such a way that it is possible, [...]
Abstract
In this work, the study of smoke fire transportation inside of a subway passenger platform is presented. The study includes a set of numerical simulations to observe the behavior of the air inside the platform. Two smoke transport simulations using the FDS program are also included. [...]
Abstract
One of the 21st century major challenges is to answer the growing mobility by a carbon saver solution. For aeronautics, improvement of engine architecture (NIPSE European project) permits to reduce its volume and so to get more space for passengers & freight (15%), to save weight [...]Abstract
The objective of this study is to develop a tsunami evacuation simulation system that takes into account building collapse and fire spread. Road blockage is determined by calculating the road blockage probability due to building collapse, taking into account the size of the assumed [...]
Abstract
This paper presents the numerical analysis of reinforced concrete beams with rectangular and T sections and of steel–concrete composite beams subjected to high temperatures. To obtain the numerical results, which refer to the moment x curvature relations for different temperatures, [...]Abstract
International audience; Since energy storage systems represent key new technologies in the development of electric vehicles (EV), risks pertaining to them have to be examined closely. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries powering EV contain highly energetic active materials and flammable [...]
