What is Eurocode 5

Eurocode 5 (EN 1995) provides rules for thedesign of timber structures

EN 1995-1-2 is the Fire Part of Eurocode 5The two other parts of Eurocode 5 areEN 1995-1-1 Common rules and rules for buildings

EN 1995-2 Bridges

EN 1995-1-2 deals with passive methods

of fire protection

EN 1995-1-2 gives design rules

Workshop lsquoStructural Fire Design of Buildings according to the Eurocodesrsquo ndash Brussels 27-28 November 2012 23

Increased charring rate

after failure of cladding

the temperature in the furnace is

already at a high level when the

claddings fall off

no protective char layer exists

when the claddings fall off

Workshop Structural Fire Design of Buildings according to the Eurocodes ndash Brussels 27-28 November 2012 107

bull EN 1995-1-2 has fil led many gaps in the knowledge

of structural timber design in fire

bull However some problems are sti ll to be solved

hopefully before the next generation of Eurocodes

will be published

bull Further knowledge in

Fire safety plan with all fire safety measures

Careful planning and detailing

Professionally implementation

of fire safety measuresduring the execution

Periodic controls and

maintenance

The intensity of maintenance and controls must be set

depending of the type of structures and the type and

importance of the building

Quality of construction

Workshop Structural Fire Design of Buildings according to the Eurocodes ndash Brussels 27-28 November 2012 107

bull EN 1995-1-2 has fil led many gaps in the knowledge

of structural timber design in fire

bull However some problems are sti ll to be solved

hopefully before the next generation of Eurocodes

will be published

Fire safety plan with all fire safety measures

Careful planning and detailing

Professionally implementation

of fire safety measuresduring the execution

Periodic controls and

maintenance

The intensity of maintenance and controls must be set

depending of the type of structures and the type and

importance of the building

Quality of construction

Fire safety plan with all fire safety measures

Careful planning and detailing

Professionally implementation

of fire safety measuresduring the execution

Periodic controls and

maintenance

The intensity of maintenance and controls must be set

depending of the type of structures and the type and

importance of the building
