Fire Loading Analysis of Underground Box Structure with Considering of Concrete Spalling II : Load Carrying Capacity
In this study, based on the temperature distribution and the spalling histories those obtained in the companion paper, the thermal stress and moments of underground box structure were estimated. Additionally, the ultimate sectional moment considering with the thermal nonlinearities of material were estimated and the load carrying capacity of underground box structure was also obtained. As results, the load carrying capacity of negative moment part was dominated by thermal moment that come from thermal gradient of the section. However, the load carrying capacity of the positive moment part was rules by the yield stress of rebar that exposed to the high temperature induced spalling phenomena.
