Abstract
The principles governing the behaviour of composite, framed steel structures in fire conditions were discussed. These principles were based on the analysis of the response of single structural elements under a combination of end restraints and thermal actions representing the surrounding structure. It was deduced that composite steel structures possesed larger strength through adopting large displacement configurations.
