Fire design rules for cold-formed steel beams are commonly based on past research on hot-rolled steel beams. Hence this paper present a methodology for calculating the fire response of unrestrained cold-formed steel C-section flexural members, based on guidelines of Eurocode 3 Part 1.2 for fire design of steel beams and on results of experimental and numerical studies. European fire design rules were found to be unsafe or over-conservative, depending on their relative slenderness and serviceability load applied on the beams. Therefore, new formulae for lateral– torsional buckling of unrestrained cold-formed steel C-section flexural members, which approximate better their real behaviour in case of fire are proposed. Comparison with numerical moment capacities demonstrates the accuracy of the new design methodology. |
