Behavior of reinforced concrete beam exposed to high temperature with different faces Available to Purchase

When a Reinforced Concrete beam is subjected to high temperature it exhibits different characteristics which can be useful for studying Reinforced Concrete structures. The beam is analysed using Finite Element software called ABAQUS. Here the steady state analysis is performed and the temperature here is predefined and the load is applied. The temperature is applied from 29°C to 700°C. The temperature is applied in three different exposure that is full length of the beam along all four sides, one third of the corner along all four sides and in the middle region along all four sides. The loading method adopted here is two-point loading. The results clearly show that, when the temperature is increased the load carrying capacity of the beam gets reduced and there is a drop in the ultimate load.
