The fire analysis of a steelconcrete side-plated beam
A new finite element model for steelconcrete side-plated beams in fire conditions is presented. The fire analysis is performed in two separate steps, i.e. hygro-thermal and mechanical step. The proposed finite-element formulations proved to be reliable and accurate. Side-plates have impact on the ultimate fire resistance of the RC beam.
