Post-fire behaviour and resistances of S690 high strength steel welded I-section stub columns by Su, Andi, Jiang, Ke, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…The results of the assessments revealed that (i) all three sets of codified ambient temperature slenderness limits for internal and outstand plate elements in compression are generally accurate when used for cross-section classification of S690 high strength steel welded I-section stub columns after exposure to elevated temperatures and (ii) the ambient temperature local buckling design rules (i.e. slenderness limits in combination with effective width methods), as set out in the three considered design standards, are capable of providing accurate and consistent post-fire compression resistance predictions for S690 high strength steel welded I-section stub columns.…”
