Calculation of the fire resistance of steel hollow structural section columns filled with plain concrete

Abstract

Experimental studies were conducted to determine the fire resistance of circular and square hollow structural section columns filled with plain concrete. Mathematical models were developed and used to investigate the influence of important parameters that determine the fire resistance of these columns. The experimental and parametric studies provide information for the development of formulas for the calculation of the fire resistance of circular and square concentrically loaded columns filled with plain carbonate or siliceous aggregate concrete. Such formulas are suitable for incorporation into building codes.On a r\ue9alis\ue9 des \ue9tudes exp\ue9rimentales afin de d\ue9terminer la r\ue9sistance au feu de poteaux structuraux creux, de section circulaire et de section carr\ue9e, remplis de b\ue9ton ordinaire.

De telles formules conviennent pour fin d'incorporation aux codes de construction.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
