Abstract Previous studies of the behavior under fire conditions of composite steel and concrete beams, not subjected to local buckling (compact steel profile), showed that it’s not possible to justify, by design code methods, the absence of fire coating for 30 minutes standard-fire resistance requirement, even when considering the support rotational stiffness provided by the upper longitudinal slab reinforcement (semi-continuity). The purpose of this work is to verify the viability of this proposal for lower standard-fire resistance time, which, although rare, may occur with the use of the equivalent time method.

The temperature distribution in a concentric annular fin with a step change in thickness (AFST) has been obtained analytically. The optimum design of such fins has been performed using Lagrange multiplier technique considering either the fin volume or the rate of heat transfer as the constraint. It has been demonstrated that the optimum AFSTs transfer more heat compared to optimum annular disc fins for a given fin volume as well as for given fin volume and fin length.

This paper shows a fundamental flaw in previously published linear superposition least-squares synthesis techniques. These techniques have the desirable noniteration characteristic. However, this paper shows, by a reformulation of the method, that they are based on a false premise. Numerical results bear this out. A Lagrange-multiplier technique is suggested as a superior alternative.
