Post-Earthquake Fire (PEF) is an important factor causing damage to buildings in case of a strong earthquake. Many structures in North America are steel framed structures which are vulnerable to fire exposure. In a post-earthquake scenario, the structure and its fire protection systems may be considerably damaged and therefore its resistance to subsequent fire is reduced. The current study presents and analysis of PEF vulnerability and performance of steel-frame building frames. An analytical study of simple unprotected steel frame structures under the effects of PEF has been presented. The study reveals that the PEF performance of steel frames is strongly related to the residual lateral deformation caused by the seismic ground motion. Extensive studies in this direction are useful in understanding PEF effects on structures based on which appropriate design guidelines can be developed.
