ABSTRACT: This paper presents the performance of ferritic stainless steel 1.4003 hollow section columns
when exposed to fire loading. Three column tests were carried out in the framework of the RFCS project
named Structural Applications of Ferritic Stainless Steels (SAFSS, RFSR-CT-2010-00026). Tubular thin-walled
members were considered in this study because structural ...
