The Behaviour of Multi-Storey Steel Frames in Fires
In order to investigate the effect of fire on a multi-storey steel frame building, a particular 17 storey building was studied to determine the behaviour as a fire spread throughout one floor of the building. Resistance to wind or seismic lateral forces acting along the major axis of the building is provided by moment resisting frames on two opposite sides while at right angles the lateral resistance is provided by eccentrically braced frames. A gravity load carrying frame runs along the major axis of the building. The columns and braces were fully fire protected, while the beams (acting compositely with the concrete floor slab) were unprotected. For the analyses carried out, the fire occurred on only the second level and spread from one quarter of the building.
