(1)P ENV 1991 provides general principles and actions for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works including some geotechnical aspects and shall be used in conjunction with ENV 1992-1999.
(2) It may also be used as a basis for the design of structures not covered in ENV 1992-1999 and where other materials or other structural design actions are involved.
(3) ENV 1991 also covers structural design during execution and structural design for temporary structures. It relates to all circumstances in which a structure is required to give adequate performance.
(4) ENV 1991 is not directly intended for the structural appraisal of existing construction, in developing the design of repairs and alterations or, for assessing changes of use.
(5) ENV 1991 does not completely cover special design situations which require unusual reliability considerations such as nuclear structures for which specified design procedures should be used.
1.1.2 Scope of ENV 1991-2-2 Actions on structures exposed to fire
(1)P This Part is concerned with actions on structures exposed to fire. It is intended for use in conjunction with the fire design Parts of ENV 1992 to 1996 and ENV 1999 which give rules for designing structures for fire resistance.
(2) Thermal actions given in the main text of this document are mainly confined to nominal thermal actions. Some data and models for physically based thermal actions are given in informative annexes.
(3)P This Part provides general principles and actions for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works and shall be used in conjunction with ENV 1991-1 "Basis of design", other Parts of ENV 1991 and ENV 1992 to 1996 and ENV 1999.
(4)P Application of this Part and the fire design Parts of ENV 1992 to 1996 and ENV 1999 is only valid, if the normal temperature design of structures is in accordance with the relevant Structural Eurocodes.
(5) This Part also covers structural design for temporary structures relating to the subjects mentioned in 1.1.2 (1)P. It relates to all circumstances in which a structure is required to give adequate performance in fire exposure.
