ABSTRACT
Tcmpcrature 3SSCSSmcnt af Purtially Encased Beams (PEB) was performed based on the frame work af the experimental bcnding
tcslS
ai elevated tcmpcraturcs. The heating rale af these compositc elements was 800uC/h
in lhe first si age, rollowed by a stcady slage. This sccond stage was dcfincd to susta in temperature levei whilc increasing mechanical land. The main objective was to calculale lhe bending rcsislal1ce of PEB aI differcllt temperature leveis (200. 400 and 600 "C).This paper present lhe experimental resuh af 12 lcsls of a more general study af 27 ICSIS,
considering lhe abjeetivc addrcsscd to analyse and validatc lhe numerical model to predicI lemperature rise of bOlh materiais (concrete and steel), in particular the time required lo heal lhe heams with almost constant temperature. This validation is fundamental for lhe general proposal of sim'ple calculation methods.
Good agreement was achieved between experimental and numericul results, obtained by
nonlinear thermal transient analysis.
1 INTRODUCTION
Partially Encased Beal11s (PEB) achieve higher fire resislanee when comparcd to bare sleel bcaiTIs. The inerease in fire resistance is due 10 lhe encased material, rcducing lhe exposed
sleel surface arca, introducing cancrete which has a low thermal conductivity. I-ligher fire
resistance can also be achieved by incrcasing lhe amounl of reinforccmcnt lO compensale for
lhe reduction of steel strength in case oI' fire, as reported by several researchers.
According to EN 1994-1-2 [1], memher analysis undcr fire conditions may be verificd using eilhcr tabulated data, simplified or advanced calculation models.
Tabulaled data rcfcrs only to composite beams ralher than PES, dcpending on load levei, and
is only valid for slandard fire exposurc and simple supporting conditions. A simple
calculation model may be used to determine fire resistance of PEB without shear connection lo lhe conerele slab. The mies for composite bcams may be applied to PEB. assuming no mec1mnical rcsistnnce ofthc reinforced concrele slab, and cst<lhlishing reduced effectivc areas of the cross seclion, [I}. This rnodel depends on Ihc lcmpernture field ovcr lhe cross seclion_

Ao advaoced ca1culation modeJ is also suitablc to analyse any lype af cross-scction in general
and partially encased sections in particular. This rncthodology \Vas used to predict lhe
tcmperature field in both materiais, \Vhen submitted to e1evated temperature.
PEB have bccn widely tested at room temperature, but only a small !lumber
01'
tests arereported under fire ar elevated temperature. The most relevant tcsts \Vere developed by
Kindmann et ai [2], proving the importance of lhe reinforced concrete between flanges for
bending resistance. Lindncr and Budassis in 2000 [3] developed a new design proposal for
laleraltorsional buckling a1 room temperature. Maquoi et ai [4], improved the knawledge 00 the claslic criticai mament and al1 the lateral torsional buckling resislant mamen!. Makamura
ct aI. [5], lested some partially cncased girders wirh longitudinal and transversal rebars (W
and NW) to flanges, concluding 'lhat bcnding slrenglh
01'
lhe PEB was almosl !wo timeshigher llmn convcntional bare stecl girders and specimens with rebar not welded to flanges
presented a decrcase of
15
% for maximum load bearing when comparcd to the welded rebar(W) specimens. Piloto e1 ai [6] corroborale lhe conclusion about the bending resistance aI
room temperaturc af PEB und bare stcel beam, but \Vere ullable to deteel differences betwccn
the PEB load bearing, using slirnlps weldcd (W) and not welded (NW) to lhe web of the
profile aI elevated temperaturc.
This papcr intends lo analyse and validate lhe thennal bchaviour of PEB submittcd to elevalcd temperature under four poinl bending test, charactcrizing the temperature Ficld before loadillg.
This analysis was importan! lo validatc lhe bending tests.

2.1 Instrumentation
Thermocouples type K were distributed inside cross section and along the length of each
specirnen, according to figure 5 and 6. Thermocouples were spot welded to steel for

3 NUMERICAL MODEL
Thc numerical model used Iwo dimensional linear linite clcments (Plane 55) from Ansys,
with transienl and nonlinear malerial bchaviour, [7]. The element used four nodes wilh one
degree offreedom (temperature at each nade) and linear inlerpolnting funclions.
The modcl was refined lo allow for lhe best cOllvergencc soJulion bctween experimental and
numerical results. Figure 17 represents lhe finilc e1emcnt mesh, used to simulate
reinforcemclll, concrete and stccl. The mesh presents 3430 finitc clcmenls and 3514 nades.
The boundary canditions were defincd in lhe IOp and in the bailam of lhe profile, following
lhe experimental healing curves (prescribed lemperahlre). Thc initial condition was 3iso
sclected from experimcnls, taking into to considcration the starting tempcmture in lhe cross
scction.
Three Célses were selected to represent lhe behaviour of PE8 at diffcrent lempcrahlre Icveis.
The specirncll lests 8/2.4-06, 8/3,9-03 tlnd 8/3.9-05 \Vere seleclcd to compare the lemperaturc

FlRE COMPUTER MODELlNG
The numerical simulations validated the time rCCJllired to achieve lbe steady state condilion
and were able to predict temperature evolution in both materiais (stecl and concrete). Small
differences between numcrical results and experimental measuremenls were dctccted and may
be explained by the boundary condilions. The numcrical model also used perfcct insulation
while experiments presented some residual
hem
loss across lhe ceramic fibre insulationmaterial. Perfcct contact was also considered betwecn steel and concrete, which can modify
the hei:H flow and adhesion betwcen both materiais and finally, lhe muteriô31 properlies \Vere
nol measured and \Vere assllmed from references.

CONCLUSIONS
Thennal mmlysis of twelve experimental tests was presented, rcgarding two heating slages of
PEB submitted lo elevô3ted temperatures (200,400 and 600°C). Temperaturc was measured in five different sections which allowed analysing the heating themml effeel along the lenglh of
eaeh specimen.
Nonlinear transient finite elemen! analysis was used to validate the temperature dislribution
over lhe cross seclion S2 and also used to predicl lhe required time to estublish lhe thermal
steady condition, previously slagc to apply the mechanical 10ô3d. Good agrcement was
detennined between experimental and numerical resulls.
