Objective New fire safety regulation proposals for single storey buildings have been introduced in various countries (France, Spain, Belgium). These regulations might have a negative impact on the market share for steel. The primary aim of this research is to prove that the fire safety of steel single storey buildings is sufficient, in the absence of passive fire protection. This will be done by means of assessment of risk and structural simulations demonstrating that the safety of people and firemen is ensured. The research will be extended to low-level multi-storey structures (2-4 storeys) with non-composite and/or composite floors.
