An Experimental Investigation on the Structural Performance of Steel Columns Subjected to Elevated Temperatures

Design of an ASTM E119 Fire Environment in a Large Compartment

“…Over the past few decades, especially after the Cardington full-scale fire tests [10], a large amount of effort has been devoted to research on performance-based methods for fire protection design. Most work has been conducted in furnaces using the standard fire curve or other user-defined fire curves [15][16][17][18][19][20][21], while compartment fire tests [8,22] and open burning/heating tests [23,24] have also been conducted. Furthermore, collapses of buildings in actual fires (e.g.…”

Experimental study on performance of elliptical section steel columns, under hydrocarbon fire

“…1 In general, analysis to predict the behaviour and performance of steel columns in fire has been studied in detail over the last number of years. The most notable studies have been carried out by Anderberg [11], Bailey [12], Bennetts [13], Burgess [14], Franssen [15], Simms et al [16] and Ali et al [17,18]. These studies explored the performance of steel columns by experimental, theoretical and numerical modelling methods.…”

Behaviour and design of restrained steel column in fire, Part 1: Fire test

“…So far, many restrained column fire tests have been carried out by Simms et al [5], Ali et al [6] and Tan et al [7]. However, these fire tests have not considered the post-buckling behaviour of restrained steel columns; the fire tests carried out by Rodrigues et al [8] used only small scale test steel plates.…”
