This paper investigates the flexural buckling behaviour and design of stainless steel circular, elliptical, square and rectangular hollow section (CHS, EHS, SHS and RHS) columns at elevated temperatures through numerical modelling. Shell finite element models are utilised to perform numerical parametric studies whereby benchmark structural performance data are generated. A large number of cold‐formed and hot‐rolled austenitic, duplex and ferritic stainless steel CHS, EHS, SHS and RHS columns at elevated temperatures are taken into account, considering various cross‐section and member slendernesses. Since the fire design provisions provided in the European fire design standard EN 1993‐1‐2 for stainless steel columns are largely based on those originally developed for carbon steel columns, they typically lead to rather inaccurate ultimate resistance predictions for stainless steel columns at elevated temperatures. To address this, in the present study, a new flexural buckling design method for stainless steel hollow section columns at elevated temperatures is put forward. The accuracy, safety and reliability of the proposed design method and the provisions in EN 1993‐1‐2 are assessed. It is observed that the proposed fire design method leads to more accurate, safe‐sided and reliable flexural buckling resistance predictions for stainless steel hollow section columns at elevated temperatures relative to the provisions in EN 1993‐1‐2. |
