In general, several studies have been conducted to improve the load-bearing capacity of cold-formed structural steel elements using FRP strengthening materials. While other researches focus on the use of FRP materials to reinforce cold-formed structural steel elements without thermally testing these elements under fire. On the other hand, other investigations test the thermal capacity of un-strengthened cold-formed steel elements without using FRP materials. Accordingly, it has been found that it is necessary to investigate the thermal response of cold-formed structural steel elements reinforced with FRP materials. This short communication technical note aims at pointing the current and latest research on the topic and to propose a novel methodology to be used in the future. Besides, to draw and address a conclusion for advancing the thermal behavior of cold-formed structural steel elements when reinforced with FRP materials.
