Abstract :
[en] This work presents a numerical study of the behaviour of ferritic stainless steel Ibeams
subjected to lateral-torsional buckling and compares the obtained results
with the beam design curves of Eurocode 3. New formulae, for the lateraltorsional
buckling, that approximate better the real behaviour of ferritic stainless
steel structural elements in case of fire are proposed. These new formulae were
based on numerical simulations using the program SAFIR, which was modified
to take into account the material properties of the stainless steel.
