- Abstract
- The rational design procedure described in this document applied structural engineering principles and material properties at elevated temperature to the calculation of fire resistance of reinforced or prestressed concrete beams and floor slabs. It is recommended that concrete beams and floors designed for fire resistance in accordance with this document be accepted as a means of compliance with New Zealand building code requirements.
