Abstract

The study focuses on the post-fire performance of butt-welded connections in ST-37 steel, crucial for understanding the behavior of structures in fire and post-fire conditions. The research covers the residual mechanical properties, failure modes, and ductility of butt-welded connections after exposure to high temperatures. Experimental tests were conducted on steel plates with various thicknesses, heated to temperatures up to 900°C, and naturally cooled. The results reveal significant reductions in yield strength, ultimate strength, and elastic modulus at higher temperatures, with notable increases in ductility. The study also highlights the importance of proper welding techniques for maintaining structural integrity after fire exposure. The findings provide valuable insights for structural engineers and fire safety professionals, emphasizing the need for thorough experimental validation of post-fire performance.
