This workshop (Level 2/3) with emphasis on worked examples intends to contribute towards the transfer of background knowledge and expertise on Eurocodes-Structural Fire Design Parts from CEN/TC250 Horizontal Group-Fire to potential trainers at national level and Eurocode users.

The principal objectives of the workshop are to:

• transfer knowledge and information to representatives of key organisations/institutions, industry and technical associations in Member States;
• provide state-of-the-art training material, background information and worked examples to Eurocodes trainers and users;
• facilitate exchange of views, networking and cooperation.

The workshop is organised and supported by the European Commission, Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General and Joint Research Centre, CEN/TC250, CEN/TC250 Horizontal Group Fire and CEN Management Centre.

The workshop will commence in the morning of November 27 and conclude in the afternoon of November 28. The workshop sessions will present the fire resistance assessment of structures according to the Eurocodes. Each session will focus on a specific structural material (i.e. steel, concrete, masonry, etc) and will address the principles and design methods followed by worked example(s). Definitions of actions in fire situations will also be presented with basic principles and examples at the beginning of the workshop sessions.
