Abstract
This paper outlines the behaviour of steel and composite structures in fire, and reviews recent research developments in this field, and describes the practical implications for designers. The initial focus is on isolated beams, columns and slabs. The effect of structural continuity afforded by skeletal frame construction is considered, and the importance of connection stiffness discussed. Finally, the importance of considering the behaviour of complete three-dimensional building structures is demonstrated, and the direction suggested by this major research area is outlined.
