Abstract

The steel structure is commonly acknowledged able to return to its original strength condition. It is yet unknown whether composite structure may return to its initial condition. Test specimen on the present study consists of 8 units, each of them divided into four stud-connector bold (SP) composites beams and four UNP connector (SF) composite beams. Each of the specimen has control value by SP/020 and SF/020, and other six specimens with combustion of SP/400, SP/550, SP/700 and SF/400, SF/500, SF/700, within condition of point load for about 12 kN. The study intends to investigate composite girder of post-fire bridge element towards duration and heat temperature factors and effect of beam performance towards stud-connector and UNP connector composites. The results draw several conclusions; The process of composite combustion shows that the failure on composite steel beam specimen is due to the load, burning duration and temperature which results in residual deflection. Deflection test reveals the effect of temperature, load, and duration do not give significant impact to load capacity of post-combustion beam structure.
