An　experiment　was　carried　out　to　study　the　post　fire　performance　of　steel　reinforced　concrete　(SRC)　columns,　and　a　numerical　simulation　method　for　the　post　fire　performance　of　the　SRC　columns　was　proposed　on　the　basis　of　the　experimental　study.　A　finite　element　model　for　the　temperature　analysis　of　the　SRC　columns　exposed　to　fire　including　the　heating　and　cooling　phases　was　proposed　by　programming　a　subroutine　based　on　the　ABAQUS　software.　At　the　same　time,　a　numerical　simulation　method　for　the　post　fire　performance　of　the　SRC　columns　subjected　fire　including　the　heating　and　cooling　phases　was　proposed,　and　the　material　constitutive　relations　in　the　heating　phase,　cooling　phase　and　post　fire　phase　was　considered　in　this　method.　The　numerical　simulation　was　carried　out　by　choosing　the　appropriate　material　constitutive　relations　and　developing　a　user　field　subroutine　on　the　platform　of　the　ABAQUS.　It　shows　that　the　calculation　results　agree　well　with　those　of　the　test　results,　which　shows　that　the　proposed　numerical　simulation　method　is　reasonable.　©　2016,　Science　Press.　All　right　reserved.
