Assessment of Load Carrying Capacity for Concrete Rectangle Section Simple Beam Subjected to Fire

The assessment method of load carrying capacity for concrete rectangle section simple beam subjected to fire was presented. Comprehensively considering influencing parameters, load carrying capacity for reinforced concrete rectangle section simple beam was analyzed in a fire hazard by using numerical simulation program. A series of safety assessment regularities for the reinforcement pieces was put forward subjected to fire. The studied results indicate that: the ultimate moment for reinforcement concrete beam bridge tends to decrease linearly after 40 minute, the fire resistance of the reinforcement concrete rectangle section simple beam increase linearly with the increment of the concrete cover thickness; Therefore, the increment of concrete protective thickness is effective to fire resistance and safety grade for the reinforcement concrete beam.
