Abstract:The occurrence of fires in reinforced concrete (RC) structures increases with the growing occurrence of building fires. The mechanical properties of building materials are greatly reduced in fire, which leads to the failure or even collapse of RC structures. Extensive experimental studies have been conducted in the early stages to investigate the fire resistance of RC beams, columns and joints. Due to the different experimental conditions, the accuracy of the fire resistance calculation formula is relatively low in other conditions. Therefore, the state of the art of RC beams, columns, joints and frames was summarized in this paper. Among them, parameters such as concrete cover thickness, load ratio and reinforcement ratio were considered. The theoretical analysis such as strut-and-tie-model, Rankine method and nominal stiffness method was summarized, and the finite element analysis and fire resistance calculation formulas were also summarized. The results indicated that the fire resistance of RC beams was greatly affected by parameters such as load ratio, concrete cover thickness and reinforcement ratio. The fire resistance of RC columns was greatly affected by parameters such as load ratio and load eccentricity. The fire resistance of RC joints depends on the fire resistance of RC beams and columns near the joint. Furthermore, a large amount of test data on RC beams and columns was collected from 129 references, and the influencing rules of parameters such as load ratio, concrete cover thickness and reinforcement ratio were summarized. The test data under different conditions were standardized, and the parameter analysis was conducted on the test data. The parameters with a correlation degree greater than 0.1 were identified as important parameters. The fire resistance calculation formulas of RC beams and columns were proposed by the machine learning and regression analysis. The results indicate that the proposed formulas with of 0.935 and 0.895 exhibit high accuracy, and the calculated values are highly consistent with the test values. The proposed formulas can be regarded as a reliable reference for the fire resistance design of RC structures.
