Fire resistance of H-section by types of boundary condition such as hinge to hinge, hinge to fixed, and fixed to fixed at high temperature can be different. However, the study of evaluation is very limited. In this study, to estimate the fire resistance of H-section made of ordinary structural steel, SS 400, a fire engineering method was used with applying materials properties at high temperature and a heat analysis, a stress analysis. The results showed that hinge to hinge boundary condition was the lowest at an allowable stress at high temperature. Therefore, the application of the hinge to hinge is more conservative boundary condition in H-section connection in high temperature.

Building construction has been developed with an increase of steel application at main members, but the weakness should be resolved with a proper fire resistance. The fire engineering method is regarded as an alternative way to evaluate the fire resistance with mechanical and thermal properties at high temperature. In this paper, the fire resistance of H-section built with ordinary grade structural steels such as SS 400 and SM 490 those are representative structural steels at the construction market were analyzed by the difference of boundary conditions. The study showed that the H-section made of SM 490 represented little difference in reduction ratio of an allowable stress at one hour standard fire curve. And the hinge to hinge boundary condition from both H-sections was the lowest. As the grade of structural steel rises, the difference in an allowable stress at high temperature according to grade of structural steels is inclined to increase.

Resistance Performance

Fire resistance performance of structural members has been evaluated from each singular section and standard fire curve since the beginning of fire tests. However, the need of the exact fire resistance of H-section columns applied in the steel buildings has increased. The main reason for this is there is a difference between the conditions being conducted during the fire test and that from real situation. In this paper, the structural stability of H-section column made of an ordinary strength grade structural steels, SS 400, SM 400, and SM 490 at high temperature were evaluated and compared with boundary conditions and column’s length. This was done in order to suggest a new guideline for the application of fire protective materials in steel column in which the boundary conditions and column lengths are different from that tested with hinge to hinge and 3500 mm. The findings from this study showed hinge to hinge boundary condition was more conservative. And fire resistance performance of longer columns in the case of hinge to fixed and fixed to fixed boundary condition than from 3500 mm and hinge to hinge boundary condition can sustain at high temperature without adding fire protective materials.

Material strength is one of the most important factors in designing a building. For this reason, many structural steel manufacturers have been trying to develop it. In Korea, SM 570 is one high structural steel that has many merits such as longer span and reduction of construction cost for steel works. However, the fire resistance performance of H-section made of SM 570 has not been evaluated. Especially, in high-rise steel building that can be built with various joint systems like hinged to hinge, hinge to fixed, and fixed to fixed. However, the performance of fire resistant is limited. In this paper, to evaluate the fire resistance of H-section made of SM 570, the advanced fire design was conducted using regressive equation of the mechanical and thermal properties at high temperature, compared with those made of an ordinary structural steel, SS 400. The facts show that hinge to hinge had the lowest load bearing capacity at high temperature. Therefore, to keep the same fire resistance with other types boundary conditions, the more passive fire materials are required.

High-rise building is one of solution for lack of houses and offices in downtown. And high-rise buildings can be built by application of high strength materials such as structural steels and concrete. Particularly, high strength structural steels have much efficient properties in not only design phase but construction one. Therefore, the use of the high strength structural steels has been increased every year. However, the H-section made of the high strength structural steels can be designed and constructed with longer height than that was evaluated for fire resistance by fire test to satisfy the fire regulation. In this study, to suggest an exact fire performance at high temperature of H-section made of high strength structural steels, a fire engineering technique was used. The derived facts showed that SM 570 revealed better structural stability at high temperature and as longer length of H-section was used, the more fire protection materials requited.

A fire can cause serious damage to steel framed buildings so most of countries have fire regulations specifying fire resistance for structural elements. Fire resistance generally has been evaluated by a limited size testing facility. However, the size of columns and beams are different based on various conditions. Especially, the height of column and boundary condition are the main factors that govern the fire resistance of structural elements. To make a basic database for the H-section made of an ordinary grade structural steel, SM 400, an analysis was conducted by using mechanical and thermal properties with a proper theory. The fact findings suggested that the fire resistance for longer and fixed to fixed column were required a new guide line for covering of fire protective materials.

Building fires can cause severe damages to not only human life but also building structures. Therefore, every nation requires a building regulation related to fire in aspect of safety of human and structural stability. The structural stability under fire condition can be evaluated by the fire test defined in each nation’s standard. However, the results from the test don’t satisfy the real situations of the building such as fire loads, opening size, loading and boundary condition of structural members, and etc. Meanwhile, performance based fire engineering design is regarded as an alternative evaluation method of fire. The fire engineering method has been regarded as a more rational method than the prescriptive method in terms of accuracy and cost efficiency. Recently, the limit temperature method is regarded as the easiest fire engineering method to evaluate the structural stability under fire. To make the backbone of a specification of limiting temperature method, limiting temperatures of various structural members are required. In this paper, in order to make a database of the limiting temperatures of H-section columns and beams, fire test programs with loading were conducted and the limiting temperatures and fire resistance were derived.

Structural columns are very important members in steel buildings. An evaluation of fire resistance performance of the column is essential to sustain the structural stability in a fire situation. However, the length of columns is dependent on various architectural design variations. Therefore, the fire resistance can be different according to the length of column. In this study, to suggest the adequate fire resistance performance of structural columns by difference of length, an analysis was done based on an ordinary structural steels, SS 400, and hinge to hinge boundary condition. The result showed that the longer the column was, the less the fire resistance.

Structural steels have been developed in terms of users needs. Particularly, easy welding is one of the most important factors of steel works that results in submarine structural steel (SM). The SM has become a popular structural steel in building construction in columns and beams proving as good as ordinary structural steels (SS). However, evaluation of fire resistance at H-section made of SM steels was not suggested in terms of boundary conditions. In this paper, to compare the fire resistance of H-section made of SM steels, such as SM 400, SM 490, and SM 520 was tested and analyzed in terms of load carrying capacity at high temperature. The facts showed that as the strength is increased, the reduction ratio of an allowable load is rapid and fixed to fixed boundary condition was more robust than others in high temperatures.

Resistance Performance

Structural steels require performance, such as structural performance, constructional one, and fire performance as an efficient constructional material. However, structural steels have a fundamental weakness in a fire and need to improve constructional performance of welding which resulted in the development submarine structural steels, such as SM 400, SM 490, and SM 520. Their yield strengths are the same as general structural steels, but the weldability was better. Therefore, the application of submarine structural steels increases in steel building market annually. However, the fire resistance performance isnt determined when these are used as main materials in H-section columns in the case of different boundary conditions and different column lengths. In this paper, to confirm and suggest a new guideline for fire protective materials, an advanced engineering design was used with mechanical properties at high temperature and a heat stress analysis. The findings showed that fire resistance of H-section columns with longer lengths and other boundary conditions are determined to satisfy the fire resistance performance if the fire protective materials derived from 3500mm in length and hinge to hinge boundary condition apply to longer column lengths and other boundary conditions.
