A　finite　element　(FE)　model　for　temperature　calculation　in　steel　reinforced　concrete　(SRC)　columns　was　proposed,　and　the　results　of　the　calculation　agree　well　with　those　from　testing.　Then,　a　calculation　method　for　the　highest　temperature　field　of　the　SRC　columns　was　proposed,　based　on　which　a　FE　model　for　the　post-fire　seismic　performance　of　the　SRC　columns　was　proposed.　In　the　FE　model,　the　bond-slip　properties　between　steel　and　concrete　and　between　rebar　and　concrete　are　simultaneously　considered.　It　is　shown　that　calculated　results　agree　well　with　test　results,　and　the　FE　model　can　be　used　to　analyze　the　post-fire　seismic　performance　of　SRC　columns.　©　2016,　Engineering　Mechanics　Press.　All　right　reserved.
