Introduction

EN 1991-1-2 describes the thermal and mechanical actions for the structural design of buildings exposed to fire. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the fire design Parts of prEN 1992 to prEN 1996 and prEN 1999 which give rules for designing structures for fire resistance.

The main content of the code includes:

More data and models for physically based thermal actions are given in the informative annexes as follows:
Annex A: Parametric temperature-time curves
Annex B: Thermal actions for external members - Simplified calculation method
Annex C: Localised fires
Annex D: Advanced fire models
Annex E: Fire load densities
Annex F: Equivalent time of fire exposure
Annex G: Configuration factor

Powerpoint Presentation

The PowerPoint presentations are separately prepared for the main code and the individual annex. Basically, the main presentation provides the step-by-step design procedure in accordance with the main code, and where necessary explains where the Annexes link in, and any additional information needed.
