Abstract text:
Membrane action in fire for composite steel–concrete slabs is now an intensively researched area, for which more improvement is always necessary. Simplified methods exist for determining the fire resistance of composite slabs considering this effect, but a complex finite element analysis cannot be avoided in all particular situations. The paper presents some numerical simulations, in which simplified hypothesis were considered for representing the partially protected composite steel concrete slabs in fire situation. The numerical models are calibrated using the results of two full scale tests that have been performed in recent years.
Key Words:
fire design; composite slabs; membrane action; numerical analysis.
