“…18,19 Other notable studies worthy of mentioning include those that explored the influence of unsymmetric heating/ loading, [20][21][22][23] unique geometrical features, 11 design/natural fire conditions, 24 reinforcement configuration, 25,26 as well as residual response post fire. [27][28][29] Practically, the fire resistance of RC columns can be predicted and calculated via a number of approaches. These approaches range from traditional aids (i.e., via charts, tables) as documented in fire buildings and standards, 30,31 to hand-calculation based methods derived by researchers, 27,[32][33][34] to alternative methods such as finite element simulations, 16,26 and/or machine learning (ML) (blackbox algorithms, [35][36][37][38] or explainable models 39 ).…”
