Thermal expansion of a beam

Restrained Steel beam subjected to uniform temperature on half of the member.

A 6m long beam has a uniform applied load of 10 kN/m. With the loading sustained, the beam is heated to a target temperature of 1180 ° C.

A 6 m x 3.5 m single bay frame with a 2 kN/m distributed load is subjected to a non-linear fire curve.

A multi-bay reinforced concrete frame is investigated.

A two-bay frame that measures 2.4 m x 1.18 m with a 60 N/m distributed load and column point loads is subjected to a fire in one of the bays. The heated bay is heated linearly to a target temperature of 550 ° C.

A three-dimensional reinforced concrete rigid frame, is subjected to bi-directional earthquake ground motion.

This example demonstrates how to use the viscous damper material within a simple single story shear frame.
