Cold-formed steel (CFS) columns play a crucial role in modern construction due to their lightweight, prefabricated, and recyclable characteristics, contributing significantly to structural safety and reliability. However, unprotected CFS columns lose their load-bearing capacity within 10-15 minutes under fire conditions. This study reviews recent advancements aimed at improving the fire resistance of CFS columns, focusing on factors such as steel thickness, grade, cross-sectional shape, and fire protection materials. Using ABAQUS software, validated against experimental data, parametric studies reveal that thicker sections and higher-grade steels enhance fire resistance, delaying structural failure. Fire protection strategies, such as plasterboard encasement, further bolster safety. The Complex cross-sectional shape demonstrated the highest load capacity (178.51 kN), while G450 steel outperformed other grades in both load capacity and fire resistance. Columns with 1.95 mm thickness provided the longest failure time (73.49 minutes).
