Reinforced concrete slabs are elements in direct contact with superimposed loads, having high surface area and small thickness. Such a condition makes slabs highly vulnerable to fire conditions. Fire results in exaggerated deformations in reinforced concrete slabs, as a result of material deterioration and thermal induced stresses. The main objective of this paper is to deeply investigate how circular R.C. slabs, of different configurations, behave in fire condition. That objective has been achieved through finite element modelling. Thermal-structural finite element models have been prepared, using "Ansys". Finite element models used solid elements to model both thermal and structural slab behaviour. Structural loads had been applied, representing slab operational loads, then thermal loads were applied in accordance with ISO 843 fire curve. Outputs in the form of deflection profile and edge rotation have been extracted out of the models to present slab deformations. A parametric study has been conducted to figure out the significance of various parameters such as; slab depth, slenderness ratio, load ratio, and opening size; regarding slab deformations. It was found that deformational behaviour differs significantly for slabs of thickness equal or below 100 mm, than slabs of thickness equal or above 200 mm. On the other hand considerable changes in slabs behaviour take place after 30 minutes of fire exposure for slabs of thickness equals or below 100 mm, while such changes delay till 60 minutes for slabs of thickness equals or above 200 mm.

Fire Conditions

In this paper, full-scale reinforced concrete slabs are analyzed under thermal-mechanical loads in fire conditions. The rectangular one-way slabs including a simply supported slab and a three-span continuous slab are concerned in the analysis. Finite element simulation is carried out by using the ABAQUS program to evaluate the non-uniform temperature distributions in thickness of the slabs and to analyze the deformation and stress redistribution of the slabs at elevated temperatures. Sequentially coupled thermal and structural analyses are performed to simulate the responses of the slabs in fire conditions. Deformation and strength of the slabs under thermal and mechanical loads are discussed. The numerical results are compared with the experimental ones and good agreements are observed. The analysis results show that the main reinforcement ratio has significant effects on the deformation and strength of the slabs at elevated temperatures and the three-span continuous slab has better performance of fire-resistance than the simply supported slab.

Flat slab-column punching shear specimens were tested under combined load and fire exposure, with varying edge restraint conditions. The slabs deflected away from the heat source (in the direction of loading) at all stages of the tests. This paper examines this unusual deflection behaviour, although no definitive reason for this unexpected behaviour has been found.
