Description
Bushfire events have shown a strong interaction between the bushfire front and ambient winds leading to fire-enhanced wind action, which may cause premature damage to the steel cladding systems used as the critical external building envelope. Therefore, this thesis investigated the behaviour and strength of crest-fixed cold-formed steel (CFS) claddings under combined wind and bushfire actions. Comprehensive experimental and numerical studies of three CFS cladding systems were conducted under combined fire-enhanced wind action and elevated temperatures, and new design rules were developed. This research has thus enhanced the safety of CFS claddings in bushfires and overall bushfire resilience of buildings.
Impact and interest:
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.
