Results were then compared to FEM calculations by performing GMNIA analyses to determine the ultimate strength of the numerical models and to ascertain the validity and accuracy of the adapted methodologies.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Although all methodologies produce safe results at normal temperatures, only the general method is recommended for the safety verification at elevated temperatures, although the data points were overly conservative. This investigation demonstrates the need of proper and accurate design methods for tapered beams at elevated temperatures, which should be the subject of future developments.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The research in this paper is limited to the adaptation of existing room temperature design methods to fire. Therefore, possible assumptions made during the conception of the initial formulae, which may be valid exclusively for 20\u00baC, may have been disregarded.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>For the time being, design methodologies for the safety check of tapered beams for the case of fire are inexistent. This paper investigates the adaptation of existing room temperature design to the fire situation by providing insights on their accuracy level, as well as on how to proceed. Finally, a safe design methodology for tapered beams in case of fire is provided until improved design methods are developed.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jsfe-01-2019-0002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,16]],"date-time":"2019-08-16T05:38:03Z","timestamp":1565933883000},"page":"373-398","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Stability check of tapered steel beams in fire"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Carlos","family":"Couto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"\u00c9lio","family":"Maia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Paulo","family":"Vila Real","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Nuno","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"volume-title":"Local Buckling of RHS Members at Elevated Temperatures","year":"1995","key":"key2019101107461491600_ref001"},{"issue":"1\/3","key":"key2019101107461491600_ref002","first-page":"23","article-title":"Lateral buckling of web tapered beams: an original design method confronted with a computer simulation","volume":"27","year":"1993","journal-title":"Journal Constr.
