- Abstract
- In the first part of the paper, the general design principles for fire resistance of concrete structures according to Eurocodes 1 and 2 are reviewed. Next, a survey is given of some recent work performed in fib Working Party 4.3.2 “Fire design of concrete structures: structural aspects”. First, general and simplified methods for sectional analysis and member design are discussed and compared. Subsequently, the influence of axial and rotational restraint on the internal forces is analysed by means of a comprehensive parametric study dealing with a single span clamped beam with different degrees of axial restraint and a single bay frame. Both rectangular and T-shaped beam sections are considered as well as slabs. From this analysis, some general conclusions regarding global structural behaviour under fire conditions can be drawn. Finally, two cases of real fires leading to structural collapse are discussed.
