Fire Testing of an Earthquake Damaged R.C. Frame Presented by: U.K. Sharma/Pradeep Bhargava Under UKIERI Project being Jointly Investigated by: Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee University of Edinburgh, U.K. Indian Institute of Science Bangalore

INTRODUCTION Major earthquakes have been followed by multiple ignitions San Francisco, 1906 Tokyo, 1923 San Fernando, 1971 Northridge, 1994 Hanshin (Kobe), 1995 Izmit (crude and naptha tanks), 1999

Fire Following Earthquake Probability of Ignition is high. Toppled furniture, electrical malfunctioning and movement of hot equipment. Active and passive systems may be damaged by earthquake. Probability of prompt fire service attention is much lower.

Due to rapid urbanisation, there is an increasing risk of Fire Following Earthquake (F.F.E.) events. FFE events have added a new dimension to disaster management and call for substantial research effort to address the relevant challenges. The collaborative research project between the University of Edinburgh, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee and the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore proposes to conduct large-scale tests to investigate the behaviour of (earthquake-induced) pre-damaged R.C. frames in fire.

15
Analytical modeling of the frame sub-assemblage The sub-assemblage was designed as part of a 4-storey moment resistant R.C frame located in seismic zone IV of IS 1893 (Part 1):2002. Ductile detailing was carried out as per IS 13920. (a) (b) Detailing of a typical beam, (a), and a column, (b). When calibrated against the Eurocode 8, the design was found to be sufficiently ductile. However, a plastic analysis of the sub-assemblage indicated that the first hinge formed in a column instead of a beam
16
Finite element model of the frame sub-assemblage showing hinging in columns Col. bars=8-12ø Beam bars=2-12ø+3-16ø at top and bottom
17
Col. bars=8-20ø Beam bars=3-16ø at top and bottom Plastification at joint Beam hinging The modification of detailing in the beams and columns resulted in a more Desirable pattern of hinging

Analytical load-displacement relationships (a) SAP frame model (b) ABAQUS finite element model Comparison of the predicted load-displacement relationships for the frame sub-assemblage from SAP and ABAQUS
