Objective
Cellular beams (CB) offer long uninterrupted clear spans, which are ideal for offices. However, increasingly, questions are being asked about the performance of CB in fire and especially, about the performance of the protection material.
A uniform European design approach is required to overcome the present lack of knowledge. This should include both protected and unprotected beams fabricated from hot rolled sections. The design approach will be developed using standard furnace fire resistance tests, a large full sized test and numerical simulations. It will lead to reduced amounts of fire protection, more economic designs and an increase use of CB.
