Fire

This design guide is a response of the steel industry to the new fire safety regulations introduced recently in many European countries.

This tool provides a first estimation of the ISO fire resistance of steel beams and columns, both protected and unprotected. The approach is based on EN 1993-1-2, the European Research project "Buckling curves of hot rolled H sections submitted to fire" as well as the former Nomogram of the ECCS document N°89.
