Predicting The Behaviour Of Reinforced Concrete Slabs At Elevated Temperature Using Finite Shell Element Analysis

Wang, Y.C. and Moore, D.B., 1994. Predicting The Behaviour Of Reinforced Concrete Slabs At Elevated Temperature Using Finite Shell Element Analysis. Fire Safety Science 4: 1077-1088. doi:10.3801/IAFSS.FSS.4-1077


ABSTRACT

As part of a numerical study into the structural behavior of complete buildings under fire conditions, a computer program has been developed to predict the response of shell structures. This paper describes the basic formulations used in the analysis and presents some benchmark results to illustrate the capacity and accuracy of the program as applied to floors and walls at elevated temperature.
