This paper presents analysis of simply supported reinforced concrete beam exposed to standard fire. Eurocode standard provides recommendations for analysis of reinforced concrete structure under fire. The thermal and structural responses of structure are calculated using commercially available software ANSYS. An advance calculation methodology must be implemented to estimate the behavior of structure and to understand thermal and mechanical properties of material during fire. These include transient thermal as well as structural analysis of structure. Finite element software ANSYS is capable to conducting thermal analysis as per defined material properties. It is important to study effect at elevated temperature on structure to understanding the behavior pattern and decrease the losses caused fire hazards.
