(1) This document deals with the design of aluminium structures for the
accidental situation of fire exposure and is intended to be used in
conjunction with EN 1999‑1‑1,
EN 1999‑1‑3,
EN 1999‑1‑4
and EN 1999‑1‑5.
This document only identifies differences from, or supplements to,
normal temperature design.
-
(2) This document applies to aluminium structures required to fulfil a load
bearing function.
-
(3) This document gives principles and application rules for the design of
structures for specified requirements in respect of the aforementioned
function and the levels of performance.
-
(4) This document applies to structures, or parts of structures, that are
within the scope of EN 1999‑1‑1
and are designed accordingly.
-
(5) The methods given in this document are applicable to the following
aluminium alloys:
| EN AW-3004 – H34 |
EN AW-5083 – O and
H12 |
EN AW-6063 – T5 and
T6 |
| EN AW-5005 – O and
H34 |
EN AW-5454 – O and
H34 |
EN AW-6082 – T4 and
T6 |
| EN AW-5052 – H34 |
EN AW-6061 – T6 |
|
-
(6) The methods given in this document are applicable also to other aluminium
alloy/tempers of EN 1999‑1‑1,
provided that either all necessary information on properties at elevated
temperatures are available or the simplified assumptions in 5.2.1 are applied.
