| Abstract: |
This paper presents a structural fire design of a loadbearing external wall from a Brazilian 3-storey structural masonry building based on Eurocode EN 1996-1-2, through an adaptation of tabular data and simplified calculation methods for buildings designed according to Brazilian standards for the ultimate and serviceability states. The building fire safety regulation of the State of São Paulo instructs the use of Eurocodes in the absence of a specific national standard for structural fire design. EN 1996-1-2 procedures are applied to provide information to Brazilian standardization, comparing results for concrete and clay units. The observed limitations in these adaptations of design methods may not be uncommon to other EU countries. Finally, for a 60-minute TRRF (Brazilian requirement), the building required a minimum thickness (Eurocode requirement) of 100/140mm for concrete units and 90/100mm for clay units. |
