A Study of the Fire Resistance against Structural Materials of H-Section Made of SS 400 by Boundary Conditions at High Temperature

Abstract:

Fire resistance of H-section by types of boundary condition such as hinge to hinge, hinge to fixed, and fixed to fixed at high temperature can be different. However, the study of evaluation is very limited. In this study, to estimate the fire resistance of H-section made of ordinary structural steel, SS 400, a fire engineering method was used with applying materials properties at high temperature and a heat analysis, a stress analysis. The results showed that hinge to hinge boundary condition was the lowest at an allowable stress at high temperature. Therefore, the application of the hinge to hinge is more conservative boundary condition in H-section connection in high temperature.
