ABSTRACT
In order to get the information about the thermal deformation behavior of multi-story steel frames for the development of fire safety design, 7-story 3-bay plastic designed steel frames are investigated numerically under the simplified temperature model of heated members. The one-dimensional nonlinear finite element method has been applied to simulate the elasto-plastic creep thermal deformation behavior of steel frames subjected to high temperature. Within the plane frame structural analysis based on the beam theory, various interesting aspects of the thermal deformation behavior of both aseismatic and non-aseismatic designed steel frames have been observed.
