1.1 Scope of prEN 1992 1 2 (1) This document deals with the design of concrete structures for the accidental situation of fire exposure and is intended to be used in conjunction with prEN 1992 1 1 and EN 1991 1 2. This document identifies differences from, or supplements to, normal temperature design. (2) This document applies to concrete structures required to fulfil a loadbearing function, separating function or both. (3) This document gives principles and application rules for the design of structures for specified requirements in respect of the aforementioned functions and the levels of performance. (4) This document applies to structures, or parts of structures, that are within the scope of prEN 1992 1 1 and are designed accordingly. (5) The methods given in this document are applicable to normal weight concrete up to strength class C100/115 and lightweight concrete up to strength class LC50/60. 1.2 Assumptions (1) In addition to the general assumptions of prEN 1990 the following assumptions apply: - the choice of the relevant design fire scenario is made by appropriate qualified and experienced personnel or is given by the relevant national regulation; - any fire protection measure taken into account in the design will be adequately maintained.

1.1 Scope of EN 1991 1 2

(1) The methods given in this Eurocode are applicable to buildings and civil engineering works, with a fire load related to the building and its occupancy.

(2) EN 1991 1 2 deals with thermal and mechanical actions on structures exposed to fire. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the fire design Parts of EN 1992 to EN 1996 and EN 1999 which give rules for designing structures for fire resistance.

(3) EN 1991 1 2 contains thermal actions either nominal or physically based. More data and models for physically based thermal actions are given in annexes.

(4) EN 1991 1 2 does not cover the assessment of the damage of a structure after a fire.

(5) EN 1991 1 2 does not cover supplementary requirements concerning, for example:

- the possible installation and maintenance of sprinkler systems;

- conditions on occupancy of building or fire compartment;

- the use of approved insulation and coating materials, including their maintenance.

1.2 Assumptions

(1) In addition to the general assumptions of EN 1990 the following assumptions apply:

- the choice of the relevant design fire scenario is made by appropriate qualified and experienced personnel, or is given by the relevant national regulation;

- any fire protection measure taken into account in the design will be adequately maintained.
