Abstract
A study, aimed at predicting lateral deflections and failure times of six full-scale cold-formed thin-walled steel structural panels, tested under in-plane loads and exposed to fire attack on one side, was presented. The effects of thermal blowing deflection were investigated. The advantages of using either ENV 1993-1-2 or a modified version of ENV 1993-1-3 to perform design calculations for axially loaded steel studs under non-uniform temperature distributions were also analyzed. The need to consider the effect of shift of neutral axis in both principal directions and cross section of steel studs at elevated temperatures was analyzed.
