A00155.gifRules for fire technical calculation of insulated aluminium alloy structures(Topic: 15031)

General

The rules are based on the work with the new Norwegian aluminium standard and the section which deal with passive fire protection. This standard will probably be published during 1993, and will be the first standard for structural aluminium which has a section for fire technical calculation of aluminium alloy structures.

The rules presented in this section are curves and tables for calculating the metal temperature of insulated structures. This metal temperature must be used to find the strength of the aluminium alloy at this temperature. Then the structure has to be analysed with this reduced strength for code checking against the loads in the fire situation.
