Fire accident is considered as the one of most severe environmental hazards to building and infrastructure. Cold formed steel (CFS) beam has been used extensively as primary load bearing structural member in many applications in the building construction due to high efficiency in term of production, fabrication, and assembling in construction. This material must be well perform in fire incident in term of its integrity and stability of structural for a period of time. Hence, the assessment of the material properties of this material is greatly important in order to predict the performance of this structure under fire incident. The tensile coupon tests of CFS are according to BS EN 10002-1:2001. The CFS material G450 with 1.9 mm thickness is used in this study. The elastic modulus, yield stress, correspondent percentage strain at yield stress, ultimate stress, and correspondent percentage strain of ultimate stress was 200.3 GPa, 540.5 MPa, 0.478 %, 618.8 MPa, and 8.701 % respectively. The results of the ambient temperature test have been used to assess the mechanical strength of CFS at elevated temperature. The discussion of material properties is based on EC3-1-2 and proposed model from other researchers. The main material properties discussed is the stress-strain curve, elastic modulus, yield strength at elevated temperature was determined. The actual elastic region is slightly lower than the prediction of EC3-1.2 at ambient temperature, but well fit with two other studies. Besides that, the actual material properties experience strain hardening after yielding and reach a maximum stress up to 618 MPa while EC3-1.2 predict the constant value of the yield stress after yield until 15 % strain,other two study was fit the ambient tensile test up to ultimate stress, and fit until 2 % strain level. |
