Abstract
Structural and nonstructural members are always encountered with extreme loading conditions. In case of nonstructural members, the failure happens much sooner due to lack of load capacity. The nonstructural elements are not designed for structural loading conditions. However, they might be impacted to other loading types such as fire. In recent years, the use of 3D panel is one of the most common partitions in the world. In this research, the effect of fire on 3D panel partitions is presented. To achieve this goal, ABAQUS finite element software is employed to simulate the 3D panel. The 3D panel is embedded inside steel frame. In order to have an accurate result, two validations are performed including steel frame and the steel frame with 3D panel. In the study, 5 different fire loadings 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000°C are applied into the model. Results include load-displacement diagram and stiffness and ductility factors. The results indicated that as fire load increases, the stiffness and ductility factor are reduced.
Highlights
Structures are often subjected to extreme loading conditions such as seismic earthquake and may have defects or high rate temperature, flooding, etc., (Sayyar Roudsari et al, 2019a; 2020; 2019b; 2019c; Sohi et al, 2020)
Schaeffer (1993; Schubel, 2005) have studied sandwich panel loaded under low velocity impact loading condition
The tests were performed as quasi-static with low rate impact and static loading conditions. They investigated the load-strain response for both conditions and the results showed that using quasi-static method is more accurate in predicting the damage and response of sandwich panel
Summary
Structures are often subjected to extreme loading conditions such as seismic earthquake and may have defects or high rate temperature, flooding, etc., (Sayyar Roudsari et al, 2019a; 2020; 2019b; 2019c; Sohi et al, 2020). The partitions can be designed to have the loading capacity such as masonry wall or it can be used as light weight nonstructural member such as 3D panel. They investigated the load-strain response for both conditions and the results showed that using quasi-static method is more accurate in predicting the damage and response of sandwich panel. Hamid and Fudzee (2013) investigated the performance of a sandwich panel subjected to seismic loading condition.
