Abstract

The use of concrete filling offers a practical alternative for providing the required fire resistance in steel hollow structuralpaper presents a critical review on the fire performance of concrete-filled HSS columns. The various studies on fire resistanceof concrete-filed steel columns are reviewed and the available design information for evaluating the fire performance ofconcrete-filed HSS columns is sumarized. Practical guidelines that can be implemented during the design and constructionphase, and which have beneficial effects on the fire-resistance behaviour of concrete-filed hollow steel columns, are presented.onsof the curent design approaches are discussed. Finally, steps needed for the development of an approach for performance-basedfire safety design for concrete-filled stel columns is outlined.
