Abstract :
[en] Eurocode 3 states that stainless steel structural members, subjected to high
temperatures, must be designed with the same expressions used on carbon steel
members. However, as these two materials have different constitutive laws, it should be
expected that different formulae for the calculation of member stability should be used
for room temperature design.
In a recent work, the authors have proposed a more accurate procedure for the
evaluation of the fire resistance of stainless steel columns which necessarily affects the
beam-column design formulae.
This work presents a numerical study of the behaviour of stainless steel beam-columns
subjected to fire.
