Abstract. The article presents a method for determining the fire resistance limits of light steel thin-walled structures based on their field tests. Examples of performing fire tests of structural systems of the Spider 2.0 frame (girders, columns, trusses) are given. Based on the data obtained, tables of coefficients for reducing the yield strength of steel for each type of structure have been formed. The use of test results for design is shown. The cases of determining fire resistance limits for different frame elements are considered. Examples of calculating the fire resistance limits of light steel thin-walled structures are given based on the proposed methodology, which generally allows calculating the fire resistance limits of any structures made of ferrous metal and light steel structures. The test results and the new methodology make it possible to further substantiate the required fire resistance limits of the designed lightweight structures without applying fire protection.
