scope:

Deals with the design of concrete structures for the accidental situation of fire exposure and shall be used in conjunction with ENV 1992-1-1 and ENV 1991-2-2. It provides additions to and identifies differences from the design of structures and normal temperatures. Part 1-2 applies only to passive methods of fire protection. Active methods are not included. Applies to structures which for reasons of general fire safety, are required to fulfil the following criteria when exposed to fire: - avoid premature collapse of the structure (load bearing function) - limit fire spread (flames, hot gases, excessive heat) beyond designated areas (separation function).
