Abstract. This research is intended to predict the shear buckling of beam webs in the vicinity of beam-to- column connections in fire. A component-based analytical model, which simulates the behaviour of beam- web shear panels from the elastic stage to failure, has been created for elevated-temperature analysis. ABAQUS models have also been created to validate the component model over a range of geometries. Comparisons between the theoretical and FE models have shown that the proposed component model provides sufficient accuracy to be embodied in due course in global modelling of composite structures in fire. After sufficient validations have been carried out, the new component-based model will be implemented into the software Vulcan as a shear panel element adjacent to the existing connection element. 1 INTRODUCTION In fire scenarios, joints are among the key elements which can determine the potential for survival of a steel or composite framed building. The investigation of the “7 World Trade” [1] in the New York City indicated that the total collapse of the whole building was triggered by the fracture of beam-to-column joints, as a result of large thermal expansions of beams
