Temperature distribution in concrete structure under the action of fire using Ansys software

In the last few decades, fires caused serious damage in civil engineering, especially in the high-rise building, factories, offices, etc. Usually the structures are built with fireproof materials such as concrete. It is a complex material, and its properties can change dramatically when exposed to high temperatures. This problem requires engineers to study and evaluate the effect of the fire in the structure. This paper studies the effect of the fire on the temperature distribution in concrete structure using Finite Element Ansys software. The results will be used to provide reference data for concrete structures under the action of fire. The research is an intermediate task to convert the fire activity in a structural model into the real impact in calculating model. It plays significant role in calculating structural model for counteracting the action of fire. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2019.
