Post-earthquake fire is an aftermath of major earthquakes. This coupling action of seismic loading followed by fire in various degrees reduces performance of built-in structures and it is not uncommon to see a collapse of structures when exposed to both earthquake and fire even though structures were originally designed for life safety with no collapse requirement. This thesis works numerically investigates and compares behavior of a reinforced concrete column subjected to seismic lateral loading and post-earthquake fire loading. Experimental result reported in literature was used for validation analyses using ANSYS finite element software program and further parametric studies on influential parameters such as concrete cover, axial load ratio, and fire exposed side were performed to get insight into the performance of a reinforced concrete column under both seismic and post-earthquake fire loading. Finite element validation analysis result showed good agreement with experimental residual lateral load capacity of the column with margin of error of 4.7% and 2.2% in predicting lateral load capacity and ductility ratio. Size of concrete cover influenced insulation efficiency and residual strength. As compared to 35, 40, 50mm concrete cover, nominal 25mm concrete cover exhibited 3.2%, 19.1%, and 59.63% increment in re-bar reinforcement temperature. Also, post-earth quake fire (PEF) peak lateral load capacity of a column and fire resistance decreased by 8.1% compared to singular seismic lateral loading.
