The design method of building structures has been trending from allowable stress design method to ultimate state design method. The ultimate state design method is based on the assumption that load bearing and deformation capacity of plastic hinges are ensured sufficiently. Using the ultimate state design method in fire engineering design. it is necessary to investigate load bearing and deformation capacity at elevated temperature. In this study, the load bearing and deformation capacity of tubular columns made from fire resistance steel are shown , which are obtained experimentally under pure compression and bending compression at elevated temperature .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
