...Octavian Lalu; Tom Lennon; Thomas Gernay Purpose This study investigates the fire performance of Type F plasterboard-encased steel columns under standard fire exposure conditions, addressing a research gap regarding fall-off behaviour in column protection systems. Six full-scale 203 × 203 × 52 kg...

...Rabinder Kumar; Naveed Alam; Ali Nadjai Purpose Steel columns are fundamental load-bearing elements in building structures, and their performance under fire conditions is critical for ensuring overall structural safety. Failures in these key components can lead to catastrophic building collapses...

...Mohammed Morovat; Michael Engelhardt; Todd Helwig; Eric Taleff This paper presents highlights of on-going research, which aims at developing analytical, computational and experimental predictions of the phenomenon of creep buckling in steel columns subjected to fire. Analytical solutions using...
