This paper describes a method of modelling composite floor slabs in fire conditions using a stress-resultant approach. The FEAST suite, which consists of two main computer programs is described. The ...first, SRAS, is designed to model the behaviour of arbitrary orthotropic plate sections at elevated temperatures. The second program, FEAI, interfaces with the finite element package ABAQUS, allowing realistic models of the behaviour of whole structures in fire conditions to be obtained. The paper describes how SRAS was used to analyse the floor slab of the Cardington fire tests and results showing the behaviour of the slab under a variety of loading conditions are presented. The suitability of FEAI as a key component in the analysis of redundant structures under fire conditions is briefly demonstrated.
2,2‐dimethylpentanedioic acid (2dmepdaH 2 ) and 3,3‐dimethylpentanedioic acid (3dmepdaH 2 ) reacted with copper(II) acetate to give Cu(2dmepda) ( 1 ) and Cu(3dmepda) ( 2 ). Reaction of ( 1 ) and ( 2 ...) with 1,10‐phenanthroline and 2,2 ′ ‐bipyridine yielded Cu(2dmepda)(phen)0.5phen ( 3 ), Cu(2dmepda)(bipy) ( 4 ), Cu(2dmepda)(bipy)(EtOH)2 · 2EtOH ( 4A ), Cu(3dmepda)(phen) ( 5 ), and Cu(3dmepda)(bipy) ( 6 ). The structures of ( 4A ) and ( 6 ) each consists of a Cu(bipy)(dicarboxylate)(solvent) 2 dimer. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic activity of the novel copper complexes and their manganese analogues was investigated. The dimethyl sulphoxide(DMSO) soluble complexes ( 1 )–( 4 ) and ( 6 ) were assessed for their cancer chemotherapeutic potential towards hepatocellular carcinoma and kidney adenocarcinoma cell lines. The 1,10‐phenanthroline containing complex Cu(2dmepda)(phen)0.5phen ( 3 ) was the most potent with activity that compares well to that of cis platin.
