The aim of the ECCS Model Code is to present the above improvements, as far as related to the structural fire design of steel and of composite steel and concrete structures. In view of the significant effect of the thermal and mechanical actions on the outcome of the assessment, the discussion is not limited to the ENV 1993-1-2 (Fire Design of Steel Structures), and ENV 1994-1-2 (Fire Design of Composite Steel and Concrete Structures) but includes also ENV 1991-2-2 (Actions on Structures Exposed to Fire).
