Abstract: The calculation of bearing capacity of CFRP reinforced members under fire condition is the key to the fire resistance design. The temperature field of one-surface and three-surface exposed to fire of insulated CFRP reinforced RC beams under standard fire was analyzed by the finite element numerical simulation. Considering the influence of main factors (thickness and thermal conductivity of fireproof coating), a simplified formula for calculating the surface and internal temperatures of strengthened members is proposed. The accuracy of the simplified formula was well verified by comparing with the experimental data. By combining the analysis method of ultimate state of concrete beams section and the high temperature degradation model of material and interface properties, a simplified calculation method was established to calculate the high temperature bearing capacity of CFRP reinforced RC beams at different times under ISO 834 standard fire conditions. Compared the load capacity with the load effect, the reasonable thickness of fire protection materials could be determined. The research results can be helpful to establish the fire protection design method of CFRP reinforced RC beams, or to judge whether the existing CFRP reinforced beams can meet the requirement of fire resistance. The theoretical means and methods for fire resistance design and safety appraisal of CFRP reinforced structures were proposed.
