Mechanical Properties of Steel Bolts with Different Diameters
after Exposure to High Temperatures
Abstract

This research presents results from experimental studies of the mechanical behavior of steel
bolts of Grade 8.8 and 10.9 after experiencing fire conditions. A significant number of steel
bolts of Grade 8.8 and 10.9 of different sizes were heated according to a specific time-
temperature curve and then cooled. By performing various experiments on these samples,
mechanical properties of steel bolts such as stress-strain curves, elasticity modulus, ultimate
strengths and the yield limit strengths of the bolts after the fire were obtained. Results from the
experiments showed a quick reduction in the residual strength of the bolts when heated to
temperatures of 500°C for both grades. Based on the large number of experiment results, two
sets of equations for determining the mechanical properties of steel bolts of Grade 8.8 and 10.9
were presented.
Steel structures are one of the most popular structures designed and constructed these
days. Steel structures are extensively used worldwide due to their advantages, such as
more construction speed and interior spaces than concrete structures . Due to the
weakness of structures in natural or fabricated disasters such as wind, earthquake, and
fire, the need for rehabilitation and repair of structural members to achieve their initial
performance is inevitable. ...
