SOME NEW DEVELOPMENTS OF THE FIRE PERFORMANCE RESEARCH ON COMPOSITE STRUCTURES

The research on fire-endurance performance and fire-resistance design of composite structures is one of the hot topics in structural engineering. This paper briefly summarizes and reviews some of the recent progress on the fire performance of composite slabs, composite beams, composite columns, beam-column connections, frames and structural system. Finally, A number of issues need to be addressed on the fire performance of composite structures are identified and discussed.
