This paper presents a finite element formulation for the numerical analysis of three-dimensional framed steel, reinforced concrete or composite steel and concrete structures subjected to fire. Several specialized and commercial programs may be used for the analysis of structures in fire condition. Within this context, the purpose of this work is to present the steps taken to extend a previously developed static analysis procedure with beam elements in order to cope with the thermal and structural analysis of structures under fire action. Physical nonlinearity and material property degradation considering the temperature distribution are taken into account at the cross section level, which is divided into quadrilateral or triangular finite elements. Thermal strains are considered through the effective strain concept, and the resulting nonlinear system of equations is solved by the Newton-Raphson scheme. The accuracy and capability of the formulation to simulate the behavior of framed structures under fire action are assessed through comparison with various numerical and experimental results.
Este artigo propõe um modelo semiempírico para estimar a resistência de conectores Crestbond (CR) contínuos e descontínuos, quando o cisalhamento do concreto governa o colapso da conexão. Esse modelo segue a tendência de padronizar as expressões para o dimensionamento de conectores constituídos por chapas de aço com recortes regulares, conhecidos no âmbito internacional como composite dowels, visto que esses dispositivos apresentam comportamentos semelhantes. A capacidade do concreto que preenche a abertura do conector em resistir ao cisalhamento é estimada, sob a perspectiva do uso de diferentes geometrias do conector, considerando fatores de ajuste nas equações já conhecidas e atualmente em uso. Para tal, o estudo teórico foi conduzido a partir de análises de ensaios de cisalhamento reduzidos por meio de simulações via elementos finitos. Por fim, o modelo proposto foi comparado com resultados de ensaios disponíveis na literatura, mostrando-se eficaz.
