Abstract: Design requirements for passive fire protection of steel structures in the United States are primarily based on prescriptive approaches. Yet performance-based design has gained attention in recent years for its potential ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to propose relationships for the reduction in mechanical properties of cold-formed steels at elevated temperature. Predicting the degradation of strength and modulus of cold-formed steels ...

Abstract: Structural risk assessment against fire requires robust material models that take into account the uncertainty in material behavior over a range of elevated temperatures. Such probabilistic material models can directly ...
