This article presents linked computational approach for fire simulation and its effects on structure using adiabatic surface temperature. The simulation solves a weakly-linked problem, consisting of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), heat transport and mechanical model. The temperature field from the CFD creates Cauchy and radiative boundary conditions for the thermal model. The temperature field from an element is passed further to the mechanical model, which induces thermal strain and modifies material parameters. This article also brings a validation of the linked simulation, based on experiment with a concrete block exposed to fire in a furnace. The material model uses standard material properties given in Eurocode 2 - EN 1992-1-2.Downloads
