Abstract

The influence of restraint of their thermal elongation on the fire resistance of steel columns is studied. The restraining forces are calculated as a function of steel temperature. The influence of several parameters on the fire resistance is analyzed: stiffness of the structure to which the column belongs; slenderness of the column; and eccentricity of the restraining forces.
