Development and implementation of staged numerical approaches for post-fire seismic assessment of RC beam-column joints

Key Points

• Seismic assessment reveals that the staged numerical approaches significantly improve evaluation accuracy.
• Key evidence indicates that these approaches enhance the reliability of evaluating beam-column joints after fire exposure.
• Implementation involved numerical approaches designed for reinforced concrete structures to assess their integrity post-fire.
• Highlights the importance of these methods for ensuring the safety of structures undergoing real-world fire incidents.
