Collapse Behaviour of Cold-Formed Steel Structure at Elevated Temperatures
This thesis describes a full-scale fire test and finite-element (FE) modelling carried out on a cold-formed steel structure. The structure was collapsed with an inwards asymmetrical collapse mechanism. The FE model was validated against the full-scale fire test results where the comparison shows tha...

| Summary: | This thesis describes a full-scale fire test and finite-element (FE) modelling carried out on a cold-formed steel structure. The structure was collapsed with an inwards asymmetrical collapse mechanism. The FE model was validated against the full-scale fire test results where the comparison shows that the FE results were in good correlation with the full-scale fire test results. The results presented in this thesis can contribute to practical design guidance for fire safety engineering. |
