Structural Evaluation UFES Energy Substation After Fire

EasyChair Preprint no. 2320

Abstract

The concrete structures are quite fire resistant due to the low thermal conductivity and the non-combustible nature of the material, functioning to a certain extent as a barrier preventing the propagation of heat. However, when the concrete is subjected to high temperatures for a long time, there may be a deterioration of the mechanical properties, leading to a reduction of the rigidity of the structure. When a fire occurs in a building the main concern is the guarantee that the stability of the same is preserved. Therefore, in order to evaluate the structural conditions of the university substation as a result of a fire, the work presents the procedures performed in the analysis of the pathological manifestations that appeared in the place, based on the definitions of Lichtenstein. The results indicate that the mechanical properties of the structure were altered by the action of fire products, thus affecting the integrity of the reinforced concrete structure.
