Section 1
contains some background information into why steel often requires fire protecting and explains the basic
concepts of fire testing and how to specify fire protection. It explains how the concept of Section Factor is used
in the assessment of protection and gives guidance on the calculation of the Section Factor in some nonstandard
cases.
Section 2
contains a brief introduction to structural fire engineering and specific recommendations for composite beams.
Section 3
contains fire resistance test and assessment procedures using UK methods. These comprise assessments
based on the traditional UK procedure at steel temperatures of typically 550°C or 620°C and assessments
based on the traditional UK procedures but at a range of steel temperatures (350°C to 700°C).
Section 4
contains fire resistance assessment procedures based on the new European procedures at a range of steel
temperatures. (350°C to 700°C).
Section 5
introduces the material data sheets and contains notes on their use.
Section 6
contains the material data sheets from which a specifier may obtain authoritative information on required
thickness and range of application. Data sheets are included for all the assessment procedures.
