Abstract

Provides, in addition to UK Building Regulations, design recommendations and guidance for single storey buildings for design in fire situations. It shows that fire protection to the roof structure, which would be expensive to provide, is not necessary, provided that recommendations on column base design are followed. The advice and recommendations cover single and multi-bay portal frames, monopitch portal frames, gable frames and frames with trussed roofs. Background to the recommendations is given and mathematical models are explained.
