- Scope
- This part of BS 5950 gives recommendations for: —steel beams, columns and tension members designed to BS 5950-1; —steel/concrete composite beams designed to BS 5950-3; —concrete-filled steel hollow sections designed to BS 5400-5; —composite floors designed to BS 5950-4. For each type of member, recommendations are given for the load carrying capacity and, where appropriate insulation performance, for a given fire exposure assuming they act in isolation and restraint to thermal expansion is ignored. These recommendations are based on: a) fire resistance derived from standard fire tests; b) fire resistance derived from calculations. NOTE These recommendations may also be applied to members for which the fire exposure has been determined from natural fires.
