    Abstract

    This paper presents the experimental results of three concrete filled steel tube (CFST) column to steel beam joints with reinforced concrete (RC) slabs under combined loading and fire including the heating and cooling phases. The test parameters include heating time and thickness of the fire protection material. Temperatures and deformations of the joint specimens during the heating, cooling and post-fire phases were measured. A finite element analysis (FEA) model to simulate the action of a CFST column to steel beam joint under combined loading and fire is developed. The FEM model was verified by the experimental results. The FEA model is then used to analyse the temperature distribution in the heating and cooling phases. The moment versus relative rotation angle between the CFST column and the beam under combined loading and fire including the heating and cooling phases is also discussed.
