Samenvatting

The use of aluminium as a construction material has been increasing since its first invention. At present, limited knowledge of the behaviour of aluminium beams in fire gives rise to excessively high insulation demands, decreasing its competitiveness. To study the behaviour of (statically undetermined) bending members in fire, it is required to know the moment-curvature diagram. For aluminium and stainless steel at both room and elevated temperatures, and for steel at elevated temperatures, this curve cannot be calculated analytically, but needs to be obtained numerically. A versatile numerical code is presented, capable of calculating the moment-curvature diagram for arbitrary geometries along any axis with arbitrary temperature and initial strain distributions.
