Abstract

Columns under natural fire conditions are usually exposed to non-uniform temperature distribution in the longitudinal direction. The difference in temperature between the top and bottom ends of a column can be quite significant, particularly prior to flashover condition. In this paper, the inelastic stability of a pin-ended steel column under non-uniform temperature distribution is studied analytically. Across a column section, the temperature is assumed to be uniform. Two linear elastic springs connected to the column ends simulate axial restraints from adjoining unheated structures.
