ABSTRACT: This study aims at
investigating heat propagations inside the structural members due to fire using
fire simulation and transient heat transfer analysis. Toward that goal, fire
simulation and transient heat transfer analysis for a 5-story building are
carried out sequentially using Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and ABAQUS 6.10-3,
respectively. As results from fire simulation, temporal temperature
information is obtained depending on various locations of the building, which
is used as boundary condition for the structural elements generated in
transient heat transfer analysis. Predictions from the transient heat
transfer analysis show that the structural members are exposed spatially
non-uniform temperatures which can cause significant eccentric deformation and aceleration of structural damages.
