Simplified Method for Horizontal Displacement Calculation of Frames at Elevated Temperature

Abstract:

The paper extracts two types of investigated models from frames in fire according to their horizontal deformation characteristics, and provides a simplified method to calculate horizontal deformation of frames, which can be applied to single- and multi-layers frames. Compared with the results by finite element analysis, it shows that the simplified method is a feasible method for the horizontal displacement estimation of frames in fire, and the treatment of the column restraint rigidity for multi-layers frame is appropriate.
