Abstract
This paper presents a study on the structural behaviour of stainless steel profiles under fire conditions. An experimental campaign of three-point bending tests on rectangular hollow section beams of the grade 1.4301 (also known as 304) were conducted, considering both steady-state and transient state conditions. Prior to those tests, the mechanical characterization of the stainless steel was investigated. The constitutive laws obtained by tensile tests at high temperatures are compared with those recommended in Eurocode 3, whose respective material models were recently proposed for modifications, still requiring complete validation. In addition, numerical modelling of the bending tests has been performed afterwards achieving close approximation to the observed experimental results. Finally, analytical methods to predict the load-deflection behaviour are also presented. Good agreement between the considered methodologies was attained validating their application on the prediction of the fire behaviour of stainless steel beams.
期刊介绍:
Fire and Materials is an international journal for scientific and technological communications directed at the fire properties of materials and the products into which they are made. This covers all aspects of the polymer field and the end uses where polymers find application; the important developments in the fields of natural products - wood and cellulosics; non-polymeric materials - metals and ceramics; as well as the chemistry and industrial applications of fire retardant chemicals.
Contributions will be particularly welcomed on heat release; properties of combustion products - smoke opacity, toxicity and corrosivity; modelling and testing.
