Numerical comparison between the thermo-structural behavior of steel and partially encased steel and concrete composite columns in fire

Abstract The bare steel structural members have a low fire resistance. However, in steel and concrete composite members, the concrete encasement, besides the contribution to the stiffness of the whole system, reduces the amount of heat that reaches the steel profile, increasing the its fire resistan...
