Abstract: The composite members consist of two materials such as steel and concrete and when flexible joints are used, slip will happening between the two materials. The fires effect has been studied on this type of construction members. Two of the beams were examined, one of them was loaded with concentrated force in the middle of the beam and the second was loaded with uniform distributed. Both beams were exposed to different fire periods of 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 min. The most important conclusions were the failure of one of the beams (Beam No. 2) when exposed to a fire period of up to 180 min. The effect on deflection was clear with the maximum increase in deflection reaching 603% in the first beam and 456% in the second beam. Slip was affected by the exposure of composite beams to fire, with the largest increase of 181 and 152% for the first and second beams, respectively.
