- The reverse channel connection appears to have the best combination of desirable feature underfire loading: moderate construction cost, ability to develop catenary action and extremely high ductilitythrough deformation of the web channel (Ding & Wang 2007). This paper presents the results of the experimentalinvestigation on a reverse channel component carried out at the University of Coimbra into the EuropeanRFCS COMPFIRE Project, which the main focus is to characterize the behaviour of steel joints betweensteel beams to concrete filled tubular columns under natural fire loading. A series of tension and compressiontests at ambient and elevated temperatures were tested. The aim of those experimental tests was to identify thestrength, stiffness and ductility of this joint component, establishing a relationship between force, displacementand temperature.
