| Abstract: |
This paper summarizes the results of on-going research on the behavior of simple beam end framing connections in steel buildings subjected to fire. In this study, the behavior of single plate connections under elevated temperatures is studied both by experiments and by finite element analysis. Experiments are being conducted to better understand the load-deformation response and controlling failure modes of the connection at elevated temperatures. Test results are compared to modified limit state design equations from the AISC Specification. Finite element models are also being developed and validated by the experimental results. This paper will presents key results from the investigations conducted to date. |
