Creep Analysis of Steel Structures in High Temperature Using Finite Element Method

Abstract:

To predict the behavior of steel structure under fire effect, the material property is very important in the analysis of steel structure at high temperature. This paper adopted finite element method to investigate the nonlinear behavior of steel structures under high temperature and creep conditions. We studied the creep strains with different models of creep. Differences between these models are highlighted. Furthermore, the importance of creep effect in fire is discussed.
