Abstract
Because of the size limitation of a furnace, the fire resistant test is usually carried out on a member or substructure with simplified boundary conditions[1]. Test results do not readily represent the fire resistance of a structure in a real fire. On the other hand, costs and technical restraints also make it unfeasible to carry out fire tests on the full scale complete structure. Establishing analytical approaches for predicating the behavior of a steel construction in a fire have been the effort of many researchers.
