In this tutorial, the Simulation steel beam under fire and mechanical load condition in Abaqus has been investigated. The steel beam is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part and also it can be modeled as a shell part. You can see a figure of the part with fire and mechanical load condition
Methods for assessing the fire resistance of steel structures are among best reported in the literature and they are generally focused on analytical methods. To model thermal behavior of the steel beam under fire condition in the first analysis, the thermal properties such as specific heat depends on temperature, conductivity depends on temperate and density is used. In the mechanical analysis, the density, elasticity, and plasticity data depends on temperature are used. In the fire analysis, the heat transfer step with long time step to apply fire condition is selected. The fire condition is consider as film surface condition and to apply the fire curvature as function of the time-temperature, a tabular amplitude is used. The radiation also is applied to the bottom surface of the steel beam. The nodal temperature after the first analysis is imported to the mechanical analysis as a initial condition and that temperature causes the stress and strain in the steel beam. In the mechanical simulation, the static general step is selected and mechanical pressure is applied to the top surface of the beam. In the mechanical model, the temperature cause plastic work in the beam
After the simulation, all results such as stress, strain, displacement, and … are available. You can see some figures for the results below
