Six fire tests were conducted to provide experimental data which would verify computer calculations of temperature course in fire protected steel columns exposed to different severities of fire.

Two types of open-web steel joists have been designed for the same span and the same loading conditions. The first type of joist was made of hot-rolled steel shapes. Cold-formed steel was used for construction of the second type. The effect of this difference on the behaviour of joists exposed to fire, is investigated in this experimental study.

This edition of Bibliography No. 30 lists references about fire protection of steel constructions published until 1973.
