Hi dears. I need to know the correct values of properties of steel and concrete in Abaqus to modeling a post-fire behavior of cfst colomn . Sincerely thanks.
Thank you for your question regarding the material properties of steel and concrete for modeling the post-fire behavior of CFST columns in Abaqus. This is a specialized topic, and several key references provide validated material models and property values specifically for post-fire conditions.

Modeling Tips in Abaqus
For steel, use temperature-dependent elastic modulus, yield strength, and thermal expansion.
For concrete, implement damage plasticity models (CDP), considering the degradation of strength and stiffness post-fire.
Utilize *Temperature Dependent Material Properties in the material definition.
