Fire testing of loaded carbon tension members The application of carbon tension members is motivated by extraordinary well fatigue behaviour and high tensile strength of the material. Compared to steel, cross sections can be reduced. Steel tension members used for network arch bridges shall be replaced in perspective. The loadbearing behaviour of carbon tension members in case of fire is still unknown. Therefore, fire tests were performed to investigate the failure mechanisms. Based on the derived test data the comparability to conventional steel tension members was estimated. This paper describes real scale fire testing of mechanically loaded carbon tension members, carried out as a part of the joint research project NeZuCa. The test setup consisted of four carbon tension members with circular cross sections and diameters of 36 mm and 51 mm. In absence of a prescriptive fire scenario for the application case intended in the research project and to ensure comparability, a fire exposure according to standard temperature/time curve was chosen. The elongation of the tension members as well as the temperatures of the specimen and the furnace were recorded. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
