Global structural behavior in fire and consolidated testing of steel structures
M. Fontana, M. Knobloch & A. Frangi
ETH Zurich, Institute of Structural Engineering, Zurich, Switzerland
ABSTRACT: The fire behavior of structures is commonly assessed by fire tests on single structural members,
however the behavior of an entire steel structure is in most cases much more complex due to a redistribution of
loads (global behavior of the structure) as a result of the large deformations in fire which may ...
