In the comparative study presented here, three methods based on different procedures are investigated. Kodur’s method is a set of formulas allowing to calculate the fire resistance or the maximum applied load. Potfire is a computer program for which a user’s manual is provided and clean instructions describe how to introduce the data. SAFIR is a non-linear computer code that can simulate the behavior of structures under fire conditions. Comparisons are made between the results obtained by the three methods and test results. The differences are analyzed, and the influence of some parameters is examined. From the results obtained in this comparative study, it is possible to say in which cases each method can be used.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering}, author={Fellah, Farid}, year={2020}, pages={169–187} }
