Abstract
Wood frame house construction is very common in North America. These structures are vulnerable to fire hazard, fire following an earthquake event is not uncommon. After an earthquake the structure may sustain a considerable damage and the fire resistance of the system will be significantly impaired. Current building codes do not take this into account adequately. This article presents a framework for carrying out a systematic study for post-earthquke fire performance of buildings structures. In addition, a simulation of fire performance of a stud wall system has been carried out. The wall system was a part of an earlier experimental study. The validated simulation model would be used from futher analysis of post-earthquake fire response as envisioned in the framework presented here.
