Evaluación del comportamiento del acero estructural bajo condiciones aproximadas de incendio

Abstract

The study addresses the evaluation of structural steel behavior in fire conditions, recognizing the importance of understanding how heat negatively affects metal structures in buildings, putting their integrity and safety of people at risk. The relevance of investigating the effects of fire in metal connections is highlighted and thermal fatigue is mentioned as a common consequence in these scenarios. The formulation of the problem focuses on identifying changes in steel behavior during a fire. The general objective is to inspect this behavior through the analysis of samples to extrapolate the results to real situations. Specific objectives are established that include determining theoretical parameters, reviewing test methods, quoting local steels and establishing guidelines for fire protection. The hypothesis states that understanding the behavior of steel under such conditions will facilitate the implementation of preventive measures. The research approach is qualitative, using documentary review and non -probabilistic sampling techniques. The development of the study is described, including the documentary review and the investigation of material costs. The results focus on discussing the relevant issues identified in the investigation, highlighting the importance of understanding the steel parameters in fire conditions and their relationship with fire protection in buildings.
