Abstract

The performance of rotationally restrained steel columns subjected to fire was investigated and has been reported in this article. The experimental study is a part of a major research project performed at the Fire Research Center, University of Ulster in collaboration with the University of Sheffield. Steel frames and half scale steel columns were tested in fire under two values of rotational restraint, 0.18 and 0.93, and one value of axial restraint of approximately 0.29. Each case of rotational restraint was tested under five loading levels, 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8. This article includes a comparison with the behavior of a steel column previously tested in fire under axial restraint only.
