Abstract
High-strength concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns offer a number of benefits and are widely used in high-rise building construction. This paper presents a brand new thermal modeling approach in comparison with tremendous test data for the heat transfer analysis. A heat transfer model has been developed to predict the thermal response of high-strength CFST columns under standard fire conditions with consideration of a number of parameters: steel and furnace emissivity, thermal interface conductance and concrete strength. The verified numerical models discussed the variation of emissivity of steel surfaces and thermal interface conductance in fire. It can be concluded that the influence of emissivity and thermal interface conductance is considerable in the numerical analysis. It is also demonstrated that thermal behavior of high-strength CFST columns subjected to fire during heating and cooling stages, and providing the guidance on predicting thermal response of high-strength concrete-filled steel tube columns.
