摘      要：This paper provides a simplified analytical model for the restrained steel beam-column substructure under a fire-induced progressive collapse scenario, which is applied to predict the collapse resistance of substructures under fire. The simplified model is formulated for axially and rotationally restrained two-span steel beam-column substructures under column-loss scenarios and involves rigid and semi-rigid connections. The response characteristics of restrained substructures exposed to fire under column-loss scenarios in each response stage are elaborately analyzed. A negative catenary stage, in consideration of the unique negative axial force effects induced by the temperature thermal expansion, was first introduced in the five-stage simplified model for restrained substructures exposed to fire against progressive collapse. Subsequently, the explicit calculation formulas for determining the vertical loads and deflection of both rigid and semi-rigid joint substructures exposed to fire were derived in a quantified way, based on rigidplastic mechanisms and restraint coefficient methods. In addition, the corresponding numerical simulation analysis on a restrained two-span steel beam-column substructure with different end constraints and fire conditions was carried out to verify the applicability and reliability of established theoretical formulas. Comparisons of vertical load-deflection relationships between the calculation formulas and corresponding numerical simulation shows good accuracy. For more accurate prediction results, the error analysis was further conducted, and several theoretical formulas were modified, which were verified to be accurate and reliable after correction. With derived resistance functions, the resistance of steel beam-column substructures in fire-induced progressive collapse scenarios can be predicted.
