Description

This thesis has investigated the material characteristics of the new high-strength steel (HSS) produced by Giflo Steels (F-series steel) using detailed experimental studies involving ambient and elevated temperature mechanical property tests, post-fire mechanical property tests and V-Charpy notch tests for hardness. Its findings have shown that the new F-series steel has an advantage over similar HSS as it has superior post-fire mechanical properties, while retaining also the other mechanical properties within the requirements of relevant design standards.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
