Numerical Investigation of Cold Formed Steel Purlin in Fire 8hxjt65io4 by Batuhan Der is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the fire behavior of cold-formed Z-shaped steel purlins using a 3-D finite element model that incorporates geometric and material non-linearity. The findings indicate that while the purlin can buckle early due to thermal expansion, it can still develop tensile forces to resist loads through catenary action, with no significant deformation occurring for up to 30 minutes in fire. The research also compares the behavior of single and double span purlins under fire conditions, highlighti
