Abstract
This paper reports on a series of tests at elevated temperatures on connections between steel beams and H-section columns, both unfilled and partially-concrete-encased. Reverse-channel connections to both types of column, as well as flush endplate connections to partially-encased H-section columns, were studied. The experiments aimed to investigate the behaviour of beam-to-column connections subject to significant tying forces and large rotations in fire situations, and to provide test data for development and validation of simplified component-based connection models. It has been found that reverse-channel connections provide not only high strength, but also the high ductility which is required to reduce the possibility of connection fracture and to improve the robustness of buildings in fire.
