Both BS 5950 Part 8[1] and Eurocodes are available for the design of structural steel in fire in the UK. The Eurocodes suite consists of: BS EN 1991-1-2[2], BS EN 1993-1-2[3] and BS EN 1994-1-2[4]. These codes concern themselves mainly with the design of individual elements of construction in fire. The behaviour of frames and assemblies in fire is usually dealt with using advanced fire engineering methods.
Although both codes are quite different in scope and complexity, they are based on a common understanding of the strength of structural steel in fire and also the factors which affect inherent fire resistance. BS 5950 Part 8[1] was withdrawn in 2017, but may still be used according to the UK building Regulations.
All materials become weaker when they get hot. The strength of steel at high temperature has been defined in great detail and it is known that at a temperature of 550C, hot rolled structural steel will retain 60% of its room temperature load capacity. This is important because, before the introduction of limit state design concepts, permissible stress was used as a basis for design. In this approach, the maximum stress allowed in a member was about 60% of its room temperature strength. This led to the commonly held assumption that 550C was the highest (limiting) temperature that a steel structure would withstand before collapse. Research has shown, however, that the limiting temperature of a structural steel member is not fixed at 550C but varies according to two factors, the temperature profile and the load.
A joint test programme by Tata Steel (then British Steel) and the Building Research Establishment showed that the temperature profile (i.e. the variation in temperature) through the cross-section of a steel structural member has a marked effect on its performance in fire. The basic high temperature strength curve shown above has been generated by testing a series of small samples of steel in the laboratory, where the whole of each test sample is at a uniform temperature and is axially loaded.When these conditions are repeated in a full scale member tests, for example, a loaded fire test on a full scale column heated uniformly and supporting a load that produces a force or moment equal to 60% of its room temperature resistance, it will also fail at 550C. But if the section is not uniformly heated then, when the hotter part of the section reaches the temperature at which it will begin to yield plastically, it will transfer load to cooler regions of the section, which will still act elastically. As the temperature rises further, more load is transferred from the hot region by plastic yielding until eventually the load in the cool regions becomes so high that they too become plastic and the member fails.
One of the most common situations in which temperature gradients have a significant effect on the fire resistance of structural steel is where beams support concrete slabs. The effect of the slab is both to protect the upper surface of the top flange from the fire and to act as a heat sink. This induces temperature differences of more than 200C between the upper and lower flanges in standard fire tests. Test data shows that the limiting (lower flange) temperature of fully loaded, non-composite beams carrying concrete slabs is about 620C. This compares with 550C for beams exposed on all four sides.
The load ratio is calculated using load factors given in BS 5950 Part 8[1] which reflect the fact that fire is an accidental limit state and that extremes of fire and extremes of load are unlikely to occur simultaneously. Consequently, the dead load factor in fire is 1.0 and the live load factor is 0.8 (0.5 in offices).
Where the load ratio is 0.25 for example, failure in simply supported beams carrying non-composite concrete slabs will not occur until the bottom flange of the beam reaches 750C, an increase of 130C on the limiting temperature in the fully loaded case. BS EN 1993-1-2[3] adopts a similar approach although load ratio is replaced by utilisation factor.
BS 5950 Part 8[1] was first published in 1990 and redrafted in 2003. It brings together in one document many of the methods of achieving fire resistance for structural steelwork. Although it is based on evaluation of performance of structural steel members exposed to the standard fire curve as defined in BS 476 Part 20[5], it may also be used in fire engineering assessments when predicted fire temperatures are derived by calculation.BS 5950 Part 8[1] also includes design information and guidance for design of portal frames, hollow sections, external steelwork , composite floors and calculation of protection thicknesses based on limiting temperatures. The code contains two basic approaches to assessment of fire resistance either by test or by calculation.A commentary to the 1990 version of the standard, giving more detailed information and worked examples, is provided in SCI P080.
The Commission of the European Community began work on the harmonisation of technical specifications for construction in 1975, with the objective of eliminating technical obstacles to trade between member states. Part of this programme of work was the development of a set of harmonised technical rules, the Eurocodes, for the design of construction works, which in the first instance would provide an alternative to national design rules and, ultimately would replace them.
Each member state is required to publish a National Annex to each part of the Eurocode. The National Annex may only contain information on those parameters which are left open in the Eurocode for national choice, known as Nationally Determined Parameters. The National Annex may also contain guidance on the application of informative annexes in the Eurocode and references to non-contradictory complementary information to assist the user to apply the design rules in the Eurocode.
The fire Eurocodes [2] [3] [4] have a wider scope than BS 5950 Part 8[1]. They open up a number of new design possibilities including the use of the parametric time-temperature curve. This is a mechanism of calculating the actual time-temperature relationship in a compartment of known dimensions and occupancy and removes historic dependence on the standard fire test. It is a major advance in the development of performance based design and forms the basis of the methods used to determine the fire resistance periods in BS 9999[6].
It should be noted that the Eurocodes have introduced the concept of section classification into fire design, something that was absent from BS 5950 Part 8[1]. Guidance on this is available by clicking here. In certain situations, it is possible for section classification to change between ambient and fire design and this may have an effect on the limiting temperature.
A guide to the fire Eurocodes, SCI P375, has been published by the Steel Construction Institute. Simple member fire design tools for the calculation of limiting temperatures, (called critical temperatures in the Eurocodes) of protected and unprotected non-composite, restained beams and axially loaded protected and unprotected columns are available. In addition, two design examples which illustate the design procedures for protected and unprotected columns, and composite and non-composite beams in a two storey and a seven storey building can be accessed.
Covers the background to the Code and an explanation of its requirements in depth. The principles behind designing both simply supported and continuous composite beams are discussed, and comprehensive step-by-step procedures given for their design.

The aim of this book is to provide students and practicing engineers with a guide of structural steel design to meet the requirement of BS 5950:Part 1: 2000 Structural Use of Steelwork in Building. The emphasis has been to illustrate the clauses in the code rather than to match practical cases exactly. The first part of the book gives basic design concepts of structural elements comprising beam, column, connection, roof truss, and plate girder. In the second part, it presents worked examples of design of structural steel elements which are of commonly used in building frame structures. The examples have different design problem, which require different approach of loading analysis and design formula.

For gaming the 5800X3D would be the obvious choice. My research has shown that games profit a lot from the additional cache of the 5800X3D. Also this CPU would be some 100 EUR cheaper. Nontheless the computer lacks in performance with photo editing. The 5950X might be the CPU with the best productivity benchmark scores, but there were specific benchmarks for photoshop that shows only a small difference between the 5800X3D and the 5950X. So I'm asking myself, if photo editing tools can also benefit of the additional L3-Cache.
Since this will be an upgrade that should last the next years I'm looking for high performance for the am4 socket. Is there any information, if the 5800X3D might be a good choice or if the raw performance of the 5950X would have the bigger impact in boosting the performance?
I take photos for focusstacking (30 to 100 pictures to be stacked to 1 picture in the process). These pictures are edited before the stacking. That's my bottleneck! It would take some 30 to 60 minutes to process the raw images. I work with Luminar Neo which uses the GPU but most of the time the CPU for the calculation.
