The paper focuses on the impact of fire-induced dynamic actions on structures, particularly material behavior at high temperatures and strain rates. The goal is to calibrate an induction heating system for tensile coupon tests to obtain material properties under dynamic loading. Previous studies on creep effects and strain rates in steel were reviewed. The research uses steady-state testing to assess the mechanical properties of steel under heating and loading conditions, ensuring a uniform temperature distribution within the specimen. Experimental results are combined with numerical simulations to predict temperature distribution and analyse the effects of different heating and loading rates on creep.
