Calculated results are compared with those measured.

Concrete filled steel column fire resistance.

This paper introduces simplified design methods for calculating the load bearing capacity of axially loaded concrete filled carbon steel tubular cfst stub columns and concrete filled stainless steel tubular cfsst stub columns. Concrete filled steel tube columns have been widely applied in modern construction. The calculated fire resistance rating of steel columns protected by concrete masonry as illustrated in figure 5 is determined by. Article 5 2 3 of asce sfpe 29 99 specifies a simple method to determine the fire resistance of concrete filled hollow steel columns.

Refined finite element fe models are developed for capturing the fire performance of cfst and cfsst stub columns under iso 834 fire. A concrete filled structural hollow section provides architects and engineers with a robust and inherently fire resistance column. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of high strength structural steel on the fire resistance of concrete filled steel tubular cfst columns under constant axial load using finite element analysis. A 3 d finite element model was developed to carry out both the numerical heat transfer and nonlinear stress analyses.

The relevant background information could be found in. This paper presents a nonlinear thermal stress analysis method for predicting the mechanical behavior and. The purpose of this present study is to investigate the fire resistance of cft columns when they are subjected to combined loads. There is an equation to calculate the fire resistance of a concrete filled hss column that comes from asce 29 calculation methods for structural fire prevention and is shown in aisc design guide 19 fire resistance of structural steel framing the fire resistance depends on the effective length of the column the outside dimension.

The fire resistance of concrete filled square steel tube columns cft columns without fire protection under a constant axial load has been previously examined. A mathematical model to calculate the temperatures deformations and fire resistance of the columns is presented. Experimental and theoretical studies have been performed to predict the fire resistance of circular hollow steel columns filled with bar reinforced concrete. Fire testing of a steel column protected by concrete masonry evaluates the structural integrity of the steel column under fire test conditions by measuring the temperature rise of the steel.

This publication contains design information for these columns.
