EB -1 Fire protection requirements for structural steel design

Right click to download this fileE-BULLETIN-01.pdf
Prescriptive requirements for the protection of structural steel can be onerous, both in the UK and overseas. Following the tragedies at the World Trade Centre on 11 September 2001, there has been even greater reluctance to deviate from such requirements, since investigations showed that steel protection in the Twin Towers had not been adequately applied and maintained. But steel requirements, as detailed under the building documents, can be very conservative. Depending on the building’s use, construction and geometry, they can be less cost-effective than installing other systems to compensate. This bulletin provides a brief outline of performance-based design opportunities for a variety of applications.
