Abstract

Abstract With high strength and good seismic performance, T-shaped steel reinforced concrete column is widely used in high-rise building structure. Three T-shaped steel reinforced concrete columns were tested under high temperature and vertical load, to simulate fire effect. The test results indicate that failure characteristics, distribution of temperature field, vertical deformation characteristics and fire resistance were comparatively analyzed under different axial compression ratios and different eccentricity. The test also indicated that the cracks increased with the increase of axial compression ratio and eccentricity. The damages of web were severer than the flange. The cracks were mainly distributed on the eccentric side and mostly inclined cracks in specimen. The vertical expansion became more obvious as the eccentricity decreased. The fire resistance decreased as the axial compression ratio increased. Compared with, the fire resistance of large axial compression specimens (the axial compression ratio is 0.6) were decreased by 57% than small axial compression specimens (the axial compression ratio is 0.2). The fire resistance decreased by about 30min as eccentricity increased by 20mm.
