DETAIL THE REINFORCEMENT

Durability & Fire Resistance
The durability and Fire Resistance of the Structural Elements are considered accordance with BS EN 1992-1-1:2004 and BS
8110-1 :1997.

Exposure Class for Concrete Elements Fire rating for Concrete Elements

Location Exposure Condition Location Fire rating

Concrete Work underground & contact with ground Very severe Floor elements (Beams & Slab) 2 hours
Elements inside the building Mild Vertical elements 3 hours
External building surface Severe Transfer floor elements 3 hours
All steel elements 2 hours

MOMENT REDISTRIBUTION
CL 3.5.2.3 BS8110
Where analysis is carried out for the single load case of all spans loaded, the resulting support moments except those at the
supports of cantilevers can be reduced by 20 %, with a consequential increase in the span moments.
