An experimental study on the fire performance of reinforcing concrete beam-column joints under ISO834 standard temperature-time curve was carried out, and the main parameters including the load ratio of the beams and axial compression ratio of the columns were chosen to study the performance of the joints. The deformation, the explosive spalling of concrete, the fire resistance and the collapse mechanism of the joints in fire are observed carefully, and several conclusions are drawn in the end.

This paper presents a review of research progress in fire performance of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns. Experimental results of CFST columns in fire are reviewed with influence parameters, such as heights, cross-sectional dimension, section types, concrete types, concrete strengths, load ratio, load eccentricity, fire exposed sides and so on. Some conclusions of CFST columns under fire conditions are summarized. Deficiencies in the fire performance experiments of CFST columns are identified, which provide the focus for future research in the field.

The origins of standardised fire testing can be traced back to 1870’s, and the origin of the standard temperature-time curve to 1917. This approach, based on a 19th-century intuition is still in use up to this day, to design the 21st-century structures. Standardized fire-testing ultimately disregards the conservation of energy in the fire, as in every test the resulting temperature of the test must be the same (precisely as the temp.-time curve). To maintain this, different amount of heat is required in every test, which means that every time a different fire is modelled within the furnace. The differences between furnace fire sizes are ignored in the certification process, but can be interesting for fire researchers to understand how different materials behave in fire conditions. In this paper, Authors explore this topic by investigating the energy balance within the furnace, and comparing different fire tests together.

There are a lot of concerns on safety structure performance by being buildings to be large and high-rise. In particular, damage due to the fire recently leads to a large disaster and therefore a variety of countries operate the regulation on the fire resistance performance depending on the building structure. There are differences on the fire resistance design in each country but 50% of the design load is suggested to be reasonable for the normal temperature during the fire by applying the concept of the loading ratio to the fire resistance design of structures. Since the loading ratio is the factor having a major impact on the evaluation of the fire resistance performance, it should be preferentially considered. The study on setting up the loading ratio to evaluate the fire resistance performance and safety of structures has yet to be fully furnished in South Korea. Therefore, in this paper, the loading ratio proper for the construction status in South Korea is to be taken into account and then the ratio is to be proposed on the single reinforcement beam.

The elasto-plastic analysis of reinforced concrete square columns was introduced to study the relationship between lateral force and curvature by using the open source program OpenSees. A pseudo static test on the inverted "T" shape reinforced concrete square column was conducted for the comparative analysis. The results indicated that the lateral force calculated by program agree with experimental data with an axial load ratio of 0.33. The calculated yield lateral force was 29.7 kN, the error was lower than 7% compared with experimental results. In addition, the cross-section curvature were obtained, which were difficult to obtain through the traditional experimental study, the calculated yield curvature was 1.825×10-5. The calculated results with different axial load ratios were presented in this paper, which showed that both the yield lateral force and curvature of reinforced concrete square columns were increased with low axial load ratio, and at the same time it could reduce some experimental work by using computer simulation.

In the present study the fire analysis of a curved reinforced concrete beam exposed to concrete spalling is presented. Due to the complexity of physical and chemical processes in concrete at elevated temperatures, the proposed numerical model is divided into two consecutive mathematically uncoupled phases. In the second phase of the fire analysis a partially coupled numerical model is introduced in order to evaluate the effect of concrete spalling on the behaviour of curved RC beam in fire. In addition, the effect of depth, time development and the length of spalling area on the fire resistance of a curved RC beam is discussed.

Based on ABAQUS software platform, the author analyzed the concrete beam’s temperature field by the finite element numerical simulation technology,and got the temperature field and the measuring temperature-time curve for the beam of different sections.The calculated results made a perfect coincide with on-site test ,which proved that ABAQUS simulated temperature field of concrete component has certain precision .Thus, the results provided the references for those who want to do more in-depth studies of the concrete beam’s mechanical properties after fire and reinforcement design.
