Pre-stressed steel structures with large space are widely used in stadium, exhibition hall, theater and other buildings today. In order to study the fire-resistance behavior of suspended steel lattice shell of a stadium, the method of performance-based fire resistance design is used. First of all, the stadium physical model is established and the software FDS is used to determine the heating curves of the measuring points of the large space structure for two fire scenes. Compared with international standards heating curve, the heating curves of the large space structure obtained here has characteristic of local high-temperature. The finite element software MSC.MARC is further used to simulate the fire behavior of the pre-stressed steel structure with large space, in which the fire scene with 10MW design power of fire source and 30 minutes duration of fire are considered and two loading ways that overall non-uniform temperature field loading and the local high temperature components loading are accepted. The results show that the pre-stressed steel structure with large space has good fire resistance behavior, and the overall failure will not take place for the fire scene suggested here during 30 minutes duration of fire.

As the result of great changes occurring to mechanical properties under high temperature (fire) conditions, steel structures will soon lose the strength and stiffness and lead to structural damage. Through analysis of the steel structure fire resistance design methods under the conditions of high temperature (fire), this article explores the most used fire protection methods in steel structures—brushing or painting fire-resistant coatings, studies the fire-resistance theory of steel structure under fire conditions; in addition, the author proposes the reasonable thickness of the steel structure fire retardant coating of fire-resistant design through design examples.

Clause 13.3 of the Canadian Standards Association Standard CAN/CSA-S16.1-M89 "Limit states design of steel structures" utilizes complex five-piece curves to specify the limiting capacity of axially loaded steel columns. A study of these equations shows that they do not fit smoothly together. The resulting curves are scalloped. It has been found that the five-piece curves can be replaced by one continuous equation which never deviates by more than approximately 3% from the S16.1-M89 values. The proposed equation is applicable to all three column curves of the Structural Stability Research Council with only a change in the value of the exponent. The proposed equation has been adopted in the recently published CAN/CSA-S16.1-94 standard. Key words: axial loads, columns, inelastic analysis, steel columns.

Calculations on the example of a steel column showed that with the combined effect of an explosion that causes deformation and subsequent fire, even without damaging the fire-retardant coat, there is a significant decrease in the fire resistance of the structure due to a decrease in the critical temperature. It is shown that, on the basis of the methodology proposed in this work, for hazardous operations industrial facilities, it is possible to predict the stability of steel columns in crash explosions followed by fire, as well as to recommend the values ​​of workloads and parameters of fire-retardant coats providing the necessary stability. It is also shown that when calculating the fire resistance limit of a steel structure with intumescent fire-retardant coat, it is necessary to take into account the proper heating time of steel structures until they lose strength.

Background: Orthosiphon stamineus is a traditional medicinal plant in Southeast Asia countries with various well-known pharmacological activities such as antidiabetic, diuretics and antitumor activities. Transketolase is one of the proteins identified in the leaves of the plant and transketolase is believed able to lower blood sugar level in human through non-pancreatic mechanism. In order to understand the protein behavioral properties, 3D model of transketolase and analysis of protein structure are of obvious interest. Methods: In the present study, 3D model of transketolase was constructed and its atomic characteristics revealed. Besides, molecular dynamic simulation of the protein at 310 K and 368 K deciphered transketolase may be a thermophilic protein as the structure does not distort even at elevated temperature. This study also used the protein at 310 K and 368 K resimulated back at 310 K environment. Results: The results revealed that the protein is stable at all condition which suggest that it has high capacity to adapt at different environment not only at high temperature but also from high temperature condition to low temperature where the structure remains unchanged while retaining protein function. Conclusion: The thermostability properties of transketolase is beneficial for pharmaceutical industries as most of the drug making processes are at high temperature condition.
