Post-fire performance of structural steel

Computation of Structural Fire Resistance of Steel Sections

The main object of this study is to compute the structural fire resistance for several steel members under different loading conditions. This is done in chapter 4 using two advanced calculation models. Chapter 1 contains prescriptions according to European codes, needed for this research. In Chapter 2 the notion of structural fire resistance is explained and also information about the types of ...

Stainless steel structures in fire

The initial material cost of structural stainless steel is about four times that of structural carbon steel, due largely to the expense of the alloying elements and the relatively low volume of production. Given broadly similar structural performance, additional areas of benefit need to be identified and exploited in order to establish stainless steel as a viable alternative material for constr...

Experimental Study on the Fire Performance of Tubular Steel Columns with Membrane Protections for Prefabricated and Modular Steel Construction

Experimental research was conducted to study the fire resistance of steel tubular columns used in prefabricated and modular construction. In order to achieve high-efficient prefabrication and fast on-site installation, membrane protections using board products and thermal insulation blankets are adopted as the favorable protection method. Three protected tubular columns were tested in a full-sc...
