Abstrakt: The consequences of destructive earthquakes show that the problem of analyzing the response of reinforced concrete frames under seismic loads after a fire is relevant. The calculation models used for individual elements and buildings as a whole must take into account the nonlinear properties of concrete and reinforcement. In the spectral calculation method, the nonlinear properties of materials are taken into account by introducing a reduction coefficient to the elastic spectrum. When determining the reduction coefficient, a common deformation criterion is based on the use of the plasticity coefficient. The seismic resistance of a three-span, five-story reinforced concrete frame under four different fire exposure options is considered. The residual strength and stiffness of frame elements after a fire is assessed by performing a thermal engineering calculation in the SOLIDWORKS software for a standard fire. For the central sections of the elements, the highest temperatures were obtained after heating—during the cooling stage. The reduction coefficient is estimated by performing a nonlinear static analysis of reinforced concrete frames in OpenSees and constructing load-bearing capacity curves. Fracture patterns and damage levels in plastic hinges are analyzed. Based on the numerical modeling of reinforced concrete frames after exposure to fire, it was revealed that the most dangerous scenario is the occurrence of a fire on the first floor of the building. Based on the obtained plasticity coefficients, reduction coefficients were determined in the range of 2.62 to 2.44. The influence of fire on the permissible damage coefficient of a reinforced concrete frame is assessed using the coefficient φK—the coefficient of additional damage after a fire, which is equal to the ratio of the reduction coefficients for the control and fire-damaged frames. Depending on the percentage of damaged structures on the first floor, the following values were obtained: 50% or less—φK = 1.09; 100%—φK = 1.17. The obtained coefficients are recommended to be used when assessing the seismic resistance of a reinforced concrete frame after a local fire. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
