Question: Problem 2 - Fire analysis of a RC slab A simply supported slab, 2 0 0 m m thick, spans 7 m and is made
Problem Fire analysis of a RC slab
A simply supported slab, thick, spans and is made with carbonate aggregate
concrete having compressive strength of MPa and steel yield strength of MPa. The
density of concrete is and the cover to bottom rebars is The dead excluding
self weight and live loads on the slab are and respectively. The slab is exposed
to ASTM E fire exposure. Using Wickstrom's method for calculating the temperatures on
ONE graph in rebars and concrete.
a Plot the temperatures in rebars, and in concrete: at the top surface and at depth.
b Calculate the flexural capacity of the slab after minutes.
c Check the fire resistance of the RC slab using generic ratings simplified approaches
d Calculate the load ratio of the slab.
e Describe in words what would be different if the slab is continuous over the beams.
