Effects of Fire-Sourced Heat on Welds

[DCEngr1]

In reference to open-web steel joists that frame a roof, I am searching for test data that provides information on the strength of welds following a fire event. Additionally, any other information, current or past, regarding strength of welds and/or of structural steel (joists and/or other shapes of structural steel) would be appreciated. Links, or scans. In conjunction with your response, I will provide an e-mail address. I have accumulated some post-fire articles over time, but more specific and more current information would be helpful. Analysis for re-use or replacement of framing is the end game. Thank you for your assistance.
