Abstract
The fire resistance performance of concrete-filled hollow structural steel columns is presented for three types of concrete filling, namely, plain concrete, bar-reinforced concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete. Results from experimental and theoretical studies indicate that any required fire resistance, in the practical range for most buildings, can be obtained for hollow steel columns through the three types of concrete filling. The important parameters that determine the fire resistance of the columns, such as load level, section size, concrete strength aggregate type and reinforcing characteristics, are discussed and a fire resistance design equation is presented.
