Fire-Resistance Study of Restrained Steel Columns With Initial Lateral Displacement
Abstract:This study presents an analytical formula based on differential equations of equilibrium to analyse the behaviour of steel columns with initial lateral displacements in fire. The imperfections of the initial flexure of the steel columns are considered. Yielding of the edge fibres at the middle span of a column subjected to elevated temperature is designated as the failure criterion for the fire resistance of the column. After validating the results of the formula using ANSYS, a numerical application is perform… Show more
