Steel beams can buckle at the ends during fires, affecting their behavior and nearby connections. A new element has been created to simulate this buckling in structural fire engineering software. This element accurately models the effects of beam-end buckling, improving predictions of connection forces. The buckling reduces forces on connections at high temperatures.
