Modelling heat diffusion in concrete structures during a tunnel fire, to investigate structural safety

2019

Master's Thesis Civil and Constructional Engineering BYG508 - University of Agder 2019 Thisismymaster’s thesis for my master’s degree in civil engineering.In this study,the heat diffusion in concrete structures during a tunnel fire is investigated. The available literature on the heat diffusion of the ISO 834, EUREKA 60, 90 and 120, HC and RWS fire curve have been investigated and compared. The fire curves are also modelled in the software ANSYS, where different approaches have been simulated,and temperature profiles have been established. The different analyseshavebeen developed and performed from a literature study, watching tutorials online and through meetings with experts. The importan…
