302 – Fire Design of Steel Structures
This book explains and illustrates the rules that are given in the Eurocodes for designing steel structures subjected to fire. After the first introductory chapter, Chapter 2 explains how to calculate the mechanical actions (loads) in the fire situation based on the information given in EN 1990 and EN 1991. Chapter 3 presents the models to be used to represent the thermal actions created by the fire. Chapter 4 describes the procedures to be used to calculate the temperature of the steelwork from the temperature of the compartment and Chapter 5 shows how the information given in EN 1993-1-2 is used to determine the load bearing capacity of the steel structure. The methods use to evaluate the fire resistance of bolted and welded connections are described in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 describes a computer program called ‘Elefire-EN’ which is based on the simple calculation model given in the Eurocode and allows designers to quickly and accurately calculate the performance of steel components in the fire situation. Chapter 9 looks at the issues that a designer may be faced with when assessing the fire resistance of a complete building. This is done via a case study and addresses most of the concepts presented in the earlier Chapters. The concepts and fire engineering procedures given in the Eurocodes may seem complex to those more familiar with the prescriptive approach. This publication sets out the design process in a logical manner giving practical and helpful advice and easy to follow worked examples that will allow designers to exploit the benefits of this new approach to fire design.

111 - ECCS Model Code on Fire Engineering
The Eurocode on the fire design of structures have been drafted in the
early 90's, based on the knowledge generally acknowledged at that time.
In the meantime, substantial research has been carried out, more in particular
in the field of fire modelling, and of the behaviour of steel and composite
steel-concrete structures under fire conditions.Also in various European
countries, in-depth experience has been obtained regarding the practical
consequences of the Eurocode rules, especially when preparing the related
National Application Documents (NAD4S). This has resulted in a vast number
of modifications/additions, felt to be necessary to arrive at a 2nd generation
Eurocodes "Fire", which is both more realistic and more economic.Main
additions/modifications refer to: introduction of multi-zone fire models,
new buckling curves for steel columns, alternative calculation rules for
eccentrically loaded steel columns, extension of the application range
for concrete filled SHS-columns, new calculation rules for slim floors,
alternative calculation rules for composite slabs.The aim of the ECCS
Model Code is to present the above improvements, as far as related to
the structural fire design of steel and of composite steel and concrete
structures. In view of the significant effect of the thermal and mechanical
actions on the outcome of the assessment, the discussion is not limited
to the ENV 1993-1-2 (Fire Design of Steel Structures), and ENV 1994-1-2
(Fire Design of Composite Steel and Concrete Structures) but includes
also ENV 1991-2-2 (Actions on Structures Exposed to Fire).

92 - Explanatory Document for ECCS-89 N° 89 - Fire Resistance of
Steel Structures: Euro-Nomogram
English, March 1996, 25pp The "Euro-Nomogram" is a design aid prepared by the Technical Committee 3 of ECCS. It is aimed at facilitating the calculation of the fire resistance of steel sections exposed to the ISO fire. The nomogram is based on ENV 1991-1-2 and ENV 1991-2-2. The methods given in these codes for the evaluation of the steel temperatures are based on time step calculations with temperature dependent variables. In most cases the use of
computer programs is therefore necessary. The "Euro-Nomogram" now makes it possible to calculate fire resistance in an easy way. The explanatory document shows the assumptions made and the way in which the nomogram was developed.

89 - Fire Resistance of Steel Structures: Euro-Nomogram
English, Spring 1996, 6 pp
The publication is a design aid to calculate the fire resistance time
of unprotected and insulated steel members on the basis of ENV 1993-1-2
and ENV 1991-2.2. It contains a nomogram to calculate the critical temperatures
and the corresponding time to reach this temperature for a given profile.
The application of the nomogram is explained with 4 worked examples.
Also available in French, Dutch and German.

82: Fire Design Information Sheets
This pack contains information sheets which introduce a wide range of
available options for achieving fire resistance of load bearing steel
structures. Typically, each information sheet presents an overview of
a particular fire protection system, highlights the conditions under which
it can be used most effectively, provides simple guidance on the design
procedure and, where appropriate, provides details of budget costs. At
the top of each sheet is a fire resistance indicator designed to show
at a glance the fire resistance that can be achieved using the system
described on that sheet.

80 : International Seminar on Fire Safe Steel Structures: Benefits for
Economy and Architecture
When structural materials are heated in fires, their physical and material
properties change. The most hostile fire environments are generally
considered to be those produced by industrial fires involving plastics,
solvents, liquid and gaseous fuels, both on-shore and off-shore. The
least hostile fire environments are generally in areas with relatively
low amounts of fuel with little propensity to spread the fire : car
parks and sport halls are typical examples.This publication gathers all the proceedings of the seminar sponsored by the European Coal and Steel Community to promote the use of steel in the name of safety and economy.

75 - Fire Safety in Open Car Parks: Modern Fire Engineering
The fire requirements applying to the Open Car Parks are quite different
from one country to the other in Europe. While an unprotected steel structure
is allowed in Germany, it is not permitted in France where a fire resistance
of 90 minutes is required.In order to bring the fire requirement regulations together, the Technical Working Group 3.3 of ECCS has decided to publish the Technical Note N°75 "Fire Safety in Open Car Parks" which concludes that no special fire protection measure is needed for the steel structures of Open Car Parks.

55 - Calculation of the Fire Resistance of Centrally Loaded Composite
Steel-Concrete Columns Exposed to the Standard Fire
The structural behaviour in fire of composite columns consisting of rolled
H-profiles encased in concrete, rolled H-profiles with concrete between
the flanges and concrete filled hollow sections is treated with special
regard to the basis assumptions and principles, the calculation models,
comparisons between theoretical and experimental results and easily applicable
design tables. The appendix with about 100 diagrams enables a quick and
economical fire resistance design for the fire classes F30 and F120.English, 1989, 144 pp
