Evaluation of the Fire Resistance of H-Section Made of High Strength Structural Steels with a Difference of Length

Abstract:

High-rise building is one of solution for lack of houses and offices in downtown. And high-rise buildings can be built by application of high strength materials such as structural steels and concrete. Particularly, high strength structural steels have much efficient properties in not only design phase but construction one. Therefore, the use of the high strength structural steels has been increased every year. However, the H-section made of the high strength structural steels can be designed and constructed with longer height than that was evaluated for fire resistance by fire test to satisfy the fire regulation. In this study, to suggest an exact fire performance at high temperature of H-section made of high strength structural steels, a fire engineering technique was used. The derived facts showed that SM 570 revealed better structural stability at high temperature and as longer length of H-section was used, the more fire protection materials requited.
