Critical Temperature of Axially Restrained Steel Columns withPartial Fire Retardant Coating Damage

In order to investigate the fire resistance of steel columns with partial fire retardant coating damage in fire, based on the differential equation of equilibrium on each portion of steel column, the deflection of steel column after the fire retardant coating damage was derived, with the pined ends and rigid ends of the columns at elevated temperatures. The critical temperature calculation method was proposed for partial fire protection damage and axial restrained steel columns by taking the edge yielding criteria. The deflection and axial displacement were verified by finite element method at elevated temperature. With a case study, the critical temperature and relationship of axial force and temperature were obtained for pined column with axial restraint. It was shown that the axial force of the steel column at elevated temperatures was increased and the critical temperature was decreased by the axial restraint. The longer the fire retardant coating damage was and the higher the axial restraint was, the lower the critical temperature was.

Experimental Analysis of Building Space Constructions on Hot smoke Flow in Residential Fire

Based on the characteristics of spatial structure of residential units, the effect of building space construction on temperature raise and hot smoke flow in residential fire was analyzed on building model with simulating multiple floors and rooms. The raise and distribution of temperature indoors were mainly tested under varied location of fire sources. And, the rule of smoke flow was discussed by using the law of temperature raise, indirectly. The results indicate that the mode of smoke flows is influenced by three spatial factors which include the form of junction terminal room construction; the height of down stand above the door and the relative locations of each room. The diffusion of hot smoke is prevented effectively by the down stand of the room; the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should be higher than that of the room without down stand. When the open direction of door in non fire room is opposite to that of the door in fire room, there is much more hot smoke.

Computational Model and Influencing Factor Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Walls under Fire

The finite element software ABAQUS is used to calculate the deformation of reinforced concrete walls under fire. The calculated results agree well with previous experimental results. Based on the finite element model, the influences of such parameters as axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, wall thickness, concrete compressive strength, steel reinforcement yield strength, steel reinforcement ratio and concrete protection thickness on deformation and fire resistance of walls are analyzed systematically. It is found that, under the conditions of big axial load level or wall thickness without lateral load and small height-to-thickness ratio, the reverse deflection of reinforced concrete walls in fire is apt to occur. Within the work range of parameters in common use, the fire resistance of walls decreases with the increase of axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, steel reinforcement yield strength or steel reinforcement ratio, and increases with the increase of wall thickness or concrete compressive strength.

Deformation Analysis of Thermo Elastic Plastic on ReinforcedConcrete Structure Subjected to Fire

To investigate the mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete structure subjected to fire, the incremental thermo elastic plastic creep constitutive equations of steel and concrete in consideration of temperature and creep deformation were obtained based on different yield rules and the elastic plastic theories. The nonlinear analysis for reinforced concrete simply supported slab was carried out with consideration the variation of the mechanical properties of steel and concrete with temperature.

A Preliminary Survey on Analysis Method of Building Structures Under Post-Earthquake Fire

Considering the impact of post-earthquake fire on building structures in structure design, an analysis method is proposed to analyze and simulate the response of building structures under post-earthquake fire. Based on the seismic response and thermal stress analysis, this method considers the structure seismic damage through a simplified seismic damage model, and the simulation of the response of building structures under post-earthquake fire was reached by linking the heat transfer analysis and thermal stress analysis to the results of seismic damage. A single-storey concrete frame and a multi-story concrete frame were analyzed with this method and compared with experimental results of the same concrete frame under fire without seismic damage. It is shown that the collapse mode may change for seismic damaged structures and the fire resistance decreases with the increasing of seismic damage degree.
