Temperature-Dependent Material Modeling for Structural Steels: Formulation and Application

April 15, 2016
Author(s)
Mina S. Seif, William E. Luecke, Lisa Y. Choe, Joseph A. Main, Joseph D. McColskey, Chao Zhang, Jonathan M. Weigand, John L. Gross, Fahim Sadek
This report presents the formulation and application of a newly developed temperature-dependent material model for structural steels. First it presents a model for computing the stress-strain behavior of structural steel for conditions appropriate to fire

Finite element modeling of structural steel component failure at elevated temperatures

March 12, 2016
Author(s)
Mina S. Seif, Joseph A. Main, Jonathan M. Weigand, Therese P. McAllister, William E. Luecke
A key issue in evaluating the response of structural systems to fire effects is the representation of material behavior at elevated temperatures. In addition to stress-strain behavior, modeling of fracture is required to capture failure modes such as tear

INFLUENCE OF MATERIAL MODELS ON PREDICTING THE FIRE BEHAVIOR OF STEEL COLUMNS

February 19, 2016
Author(s)
Lisa Y. Choe, Chao Zhang, William E. Luecke, John L. Gross, Amit Varma
Finite-element (FE) analysis was used to compare the high-temperature responses of steel columns with two different stress–strain models: the Eurocode 3 model and the model proposed by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The comparisons

Modeling of moment connections for structural fire analyses

January 5, 2016
Author(s)
Mina S. Seif, Therese P. McAllister, Joseph A. Main, William E. Luecke
Performance-based methodologies to evaluate the fire performance of structures are needed to move beyond the prescriptive procedures presently in use, which cannot be used to determine actual structural performance in fire. Analytical methods are needed

Modeling of moment connections for structural fire analyses

March 25, 2014
Author(s)
Mina S. Seif, Therese P. McAllister, Joseph A. Main, William E. Luecke
Performance-based methodologies to evaluate the fire performance of structures are needed to move beyond the prescriptive procedures presently in use, which cannot be used to determine actual structural performance in fire. Analytical methods are needed

High-temperature tensile constitutive data and models for structural steels in fire

November 30, 2011
Author(s)
William E. Luecke, Stephen W. Banovic, Joseph D. McColskey
This report documents the stress-strain behavior of a collection of structural steels recovered from the collapse of the World Trade Center. These steels, combined with literature data form the basis of a model for the stress-strain behavior of structural

Workshop on Quantitative Tools for Condition Assessment of Aging Infrastructure

October 14, 2010
Author(s)
Ward L. Johnson, Thomas A. Siewert, Jessica Terry, Dat Duthinh, Mark Iadicola, William E. Luecke, Joseph D. McColskey
The Quantitative Tools for Condition Assessment of Aging Infrastructure Workshop was held May 4-5, 2010, in Boulder, Colorado. It was organized by a team of researchers within the National Institute of Standards and Technology s (NIST) Materials Science

High-Temperature, Tensile, Constitutive Data for World Trade Center Steels

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
William E. Luecke, Stephen W. Banovic, Joseph D. McColskey
This paper reports high-temperature tensile constitutive data for nine steels recovered from the fire and impact floors of the World Trade Center. Microstructurally, the nine steels represent typical structural steels from the 1970s. It reports the true
