Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures - Part 1-2: Structural fire design
Also Known As:
The Eurocode 9 standard, specifically Part 1-2, is a comprehensive guide for designing aluminium structures with a focus on structural fire design. It serves as a supplementary document to Part 1-1 and provides additional rules to ensure the safety and integrity of aluminium alloy structures during a fire event.
The primary objective of this standard is to prevent premature structural collapse and restrict the spread of fire in buildings or structures made with aluminium alloys. It outlines specific design criteria and strategies that should be followed to achieve these goals. By implementing these rules, designers can ensure that their structures are capable of withstanding the effects of fire and maintain their load-carrying capacity for a specified duration.
The standard emphasizes the importance of considering the potential effect of fire on the mechanical properties of aluminium alloys. It provides guidelines for evaluating factors such as thermal expansion, material strength, and creep behavior during a fire. These considerations enable designers to assess the performance of aluminium structures under different fire scenarios and make informed design decisions.
