Ultra-high strength concrete (UHSC) with compressive strength greater than 100 MPa at room temperature has been developed for concrete fi lled square steel tubular column for use in high-rise buildings. The fi re resistance of UHSC fi lled protected square steel tubular columns exposed to the standard ISO fi re is investigated in this paper. For this purpose, numerical heat transfer analysis and nonlinear thermal stress analysis were conducted by taking into account the existing material properties, such as the thermal and mechanical properties of UHSC and high strength steel. The numerical analyses were carried out and the results were validated against the test results in terms of heat distribution and mechanical behavior. Comparison with the test results showed a reasonable agreement with fi nite element results in terms of temperature fi eld prediction and load displacement behavior during the fi re. Finally, based on the validated fi nite element model, the eff ects of fi re protection thickness, load ratio, the strengths of concrete and steel, steel contribution ratio, and relative slenderness ratio on the fi re resistance of UHSC fi lled square steel tubular columns were carried out and discussed.
