BSI BS 5950-8 Document Information:
Title
Structural use of steelwork in building - Part 8: Code of practice for fire resistant design
British Standards Institution
Publication Date:
Nov 28, 2003
Scope:
This part of BS 5950 gives recommendations for:
— steel beams, columns and tension members designed to BS 5950-1;
— steel/concrete composite beams designed to BS 5950-3;
— concrete-filled steel hollow sections designed to BS 5400-5;
— composite floors designed to BS 5950-4.
For each type of member, recommendations are given for the load carrying capacity and, where appropriate insulation performance, for a given fire exposure assuming they act in isolation and restraint to thermal expansion is ignored.
These recommendations are based on:
a) fire resistance derived from standard fire tests;
b) fire resistance derived from calculations.
NOTE These recommendations may also be applied to members for which the fire exposure has been determined from natural fires.
