Simulation Analysis Procedures on the Damage by Fire to High-Performance Concrete

Abstract:

This paper presents the whole procedures that should be followed when carrying out the simulation analysis on the damage by fire to high-performance concrete (HPC). The whole procedures consist of temperature field determination, mechanical analysis, identification of damage to HPC related to thermal and mechanical behavior, structural behavior simulation and cooling stage simulation analysis. That the first two parts are essential to the whole analysis has been pointed out. The present simulation analysis situation is analyzed as well.
