摘要

This study investigates the mitigation of thermal effects on reinforced concrete (RC) beams exposed to elevated temperatures using numerical modeling techniques. The research focuses on the development and validation of numerical models that simulate the thermal and mechanical behavior of RC beams under high-temperature conditions, akin to fire scenarios. Experimental tests were conducted to provide empirical data for validating the numerical simulations. The finite element method (FEM) was employed to create detailed models, incorporating the thermal properties of concrete and steel as per Eurocode standards. Results indicate a strong correlation between the numerical simulations and experimental data, demonstrating the models’ accuracy in predicting temperature distribution and structural behavior. These findings underscore the potential of numerical models to reduce the need for extensive experimental testing while enhancing our understanding of RC beam performance under thermal stress.
