ABSTRACT: This paper presents a numerical study on the buckling behaviour of ferritic stainless steel columns
in fire. Finite element models were developed and validated against existing test results to predict the elevated
temperature non-linear response of ferritic stainless steel columns. A total of nine austenitic and three ferritic
stainless steel column tests were replicated using the finite element ...
