Purpose This paper aims to describe the theoretical background and main hypotheses at basis of SAFIR ® , a nonlinear finite element software for modeling structures in fire. The also explains how use its full extent. discussed numerical principles can be applied with other similar software. Design/methodology/approach Following general overview organization software, thermal analysis part is explained, basic equations different possibilities apply boundary conditions (compartment fire,...

Structural risk assessment against fire requires robust material models that take into account the uncertainty in behavior over a range of elevated temperatures. Such probabilistic can directly inform performance-based design procedures for building safety. The objective this research is to quantify uncertainties retained strengths steel and concrete when exposed fire. First, hundreds experimental data points covering temperature 20°C–1,000°C are collected from literature. Then, different...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the behaviour concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns with ultra-high strength concrete (UHSC) and high (HSS) under fires through finite element method (FEM). High-strength materials can be used in CFST reduce member dimensions, lowering material consumption foundation loads. However, their fire has been insufficiently examined, especially nonuniform exposure. In study, thermal-structural models composite are developed using SAFIR...
