This standard BS EN 1991-1-2:2002 Eurocode 1. Actions on structures is classified in these ICS categories:
- 13.220.50 Fire-resistance of building materials and elements
- 13.120 Domestic safety
- 91.010.30 Technical aspects
The methods given in this Part 1-2 of EN 1991 are applicable to buildings, with a fireload related to the building and its occupancy.
This Part1-2 ofEN 1991 deals with thermal and mechanical actions on structures 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.
This Part1-2 of EN 1991 contains thermal actions related to nominal and physically based thermalactions. More data and models for physically based thermal actions are given in annexes.
This Part 1-2 of EN 1991 gives general principles and application rulesin connection to thermal andmechanical actions to be used in conjunction with EN 1990, EN 1991-1-1, EN 1991-1-3 and EN 1991-1-4.
The assessment of the damage of a structure after a fire, is not covered by the present document.
