Abstract
This paper deals with use of predictive models in analysing
the behaviour of reinforced concrete components subjected to
fire under loading. The main parameters considered are
related to support specification e.g. simply, fixed and
continuous support conditions. It is found that there is a
significant variation of element performance in elevated
temperature environment depending on support conditions.
Furthermore, it seems that moment due to continuity could
also enhance the structural performance at high temperature
levels. In addition concrete strength, which influences
structural performance, has also been taken into account. The
analyses indicate that the beams have a particular flexural
response, which depends on individual concrete strength
within the early heating period. However, there is a
"common" ductile behaviour when the heating time is above
3 hours.
