1294 Fire resistance<br />

STEELWORK IN FIRE<br />

INFORMATION SHEET<br />

This series of information sheets is intended to illustrate methods of achieving fire resistance in steel structures.<br />

It should not be used for design without consulting detailed design guidance referenced below.<br />

COMPOSITE SLABS WITH PROFILED METAL DECK UP TO 2 HRS<br />

METHOD<br />

Fire resistance of composite slabs up to 90<br />

mins can be achieved using normal Al 42 mesh<br />

reinforcement. This can be increased to 120<br />

mins if heavier mesh is used and the slab depth<br />

increased (see overIea.<br />

Other cases outside the limit overleaf can be<br />

evaluated by the "Fire Engineering Method" (See<br />

below)<br />

PRINCIPLE<br />

Mesh reinforcement, which is not designed<br />

to act structurally under normal conditions,<br />

makes a significant contribution to structural<br />

continuity in fire.<br />

TRAPEZOIDAL DECK<br />

A __________ _____<br />

ADVANTAGES<br />

DOVETAIL DECK<br />

a) Standard mesh, without additional reinforcing<br />

bars, may be used<br />

b) No fire protection is required on the deck soffit<br />

LIMITATIONS<br />

a) Applies only to slabs designed to B55950<br />

Part 4<br />

b) Mesh overlaps should exceed 50 times bar<br />

diameters<br />

c) Mesh bar ductility should exceed 12%<br />

elongation in tension (to BS 4449)<br />

d) Mesh should lie between 20 & 45mm from<br />

slab upper surface<br />

e) Imposed load should not exceed 6.7kN/m2<br />

(including finishes)<br />
