Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures - Part 1-2: General rules - Structural fire design
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1992-1-2/A1 standard, also known as Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures - Part 1-2: General rules - Structural fire design, is a set of guidelines that focuses on the design of concrete structures in relation to their performance under fire conditions.
One of the key updates in this amended version is the inclusion of modifications to Annex C, which deals with the buckling of columns under fire conditions. These modifications may provide engineers with additional insights and tools to assess the structural integrity of concrete columns during a fire event. The aim is to ensure that the columns remain stable and can effectively withstand the effects of fire.
By addressing the buckling behavior of columns, the standard enhances the overall fire resistance and safety of concrete structures. This is crucial as fire poses significant challenges and risks to the structural stability and performance of buildings. The updated provisions in this standard provide engineers with necessary guidelines to design concrete structures that can withstand and resist fire-induced effects such as column buckling.
