BOUNDARY FIRE LOADS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS EXPOSED TO A REAL FIRE, PART II

Abstract

Deformation behavior of the structural elements in fire case is affected by many additional parameters. The researches carried out so far have shown clearly, that the statically indeterminate systems may have an increased fire resistance due to redistribution of the internal forces. The calculations and the experiments have proved also that, in these structural systems, the joint forces increase during the fire and after reaching a maximum; these forces decrease until the collapse state is reached. The present paper is aimed at investigating the structural behavior of reinforced concrete columns (RFCs) in an enclosure exposed to real ventilation controlled fires, e.g. fires with a heating and a cooling phase.  In this research work max. and min. boundary fire loads of reinforced concrete columns in an enclosure for real fires are determined. Beyond these fire loads no failure or longer fire resistance time than a ISO834 fire can be expected. Beside that for RFCs, graphs and methods for determining fire behavior and resistance have been introduced by using II. order theory.
