Analysis on Residual Capacity of Steel after High Temperature

Abstract:

Steel material is very sensitive to temperature, the physical and mechanical properties at high temperature are distinct with those at room temperature. Taking steel beams as the research objects, based on EUROCODE3 for the steel properties at high temperature, this paper established numerical models and analyzed the carrying capacity of steel beams under different temperatures. According to the analysis, it is concluded that the higher the temperature, the lower the subsequent carrying capacity of the steel beam, and the formulas between them are defined by fitting the data.
