Objective

The development of steel frame modular buildings is gaining increased interest throughout Europe. Lightweight steel frame structures are used in partitions and suspended ceilings and for load-bearing structures of rack-storage buildings or domestic houses. Currently there are no operational rules to assess the fire behaviour of these lightweight steel frames. The aim of the project is to develop simple calculation models to be incorporated in Eurocode 3-1.2 and in standards for extended application of fire resistance test results. Performing fire tests will check the validity of these calculation methods.
