Abstract
AbstractThe composite steel‐concrete structures use has several advantages, such as the reduction of cross‐sectional dimensions and weight of the structure, which is one of the main reasons for it is use today. However, under fire situation, the material and mechanical properties changes, causing significant strength and stiffness loss as a result of temperature rise. In this work, the temperature influence on the behavior of composite steel‐concrete structures is studied through an inelastic second order (ISO) numerical investigation. For this, two computational modules, CS‐ASA/FA and CS‐ASA/FSA are developed and adapted for the study of composite structures in fire. The first module calculates the temperature field in any cross‐section. The second module performs the ISO analysis through the coupling between the Refined Plastic Hinge Method (RPHM) and the Strain Compatibility Method (MCD). In this way, the evolution of the temperature in cross‐sections, the interaction diagrams between axial force and bending moment and the structures equilibrium path as a function of the time in fire are presented for composite steel‐concrete beams, columns and frames. The proposed numerical methodology success is proved by comparison with experimental and numerical responses available in the literature.
