Test of Fire Response of a Profiled Sheet-Ceramsite Concrete Composite Floor
For study of the post-fire characteristics of the profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor (noted as PSCCF) subjected to fire load, the experimental research on post-fire bearing capacity of a PSCCF after fire is carried out. Based on the experimental results, effect of the fire on post-fire bearing capacity of the profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor is discussed, and the failure phenomenon and mechanism are analyzed. It is shown that the failure form of the profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor after fire has great change compared with the floor not subjected to fire load, but the composite floor subjected to fire still exhibits higher bending capacity, and the ultimate value of the equivalent distributed load is up to 25kN/m2, which may be used as basis of strengthening and repairing of the profiled sheet-ceramsite concrete composite floor after exposure to fire.
