Abstract
The behavior of structural components subjected to fire have received considerable attention in recent years due to different accidental or intentional event, related to important structures. Thus it is very much needed to study the Thermoshock effect on structural element for designing the fire resistance element. The description of the effect of fire on steel and concrete structural members is intended to improve understanding how the structural members respond to fire. The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the effect of Thermoshock at 800°C on slab and beam with different cover thickness by ANSYS 14.5.
In this thesis three slab models of size 1m x 0.25m x 0.075m with varying cover thickness of 15mm, 20mm ,25mm and three beam models of size 5m x .3m x .45m have been created using ANSYS 14.5. From the analytical investigation, it is found that the temperature distribution over the reinforcement of slab with 25mm cover and temperature distribution over the reinforcement of beam with 35mm cover is sufficient than others.
