FIRE PROTECTION FOR STRUCTURAL STEEL IN BUILDINGS (YELLOW BOOK) The NEW ASFP 'Yellow Book' (5th edition) covers the fire protection of structural steelwork to provide compliance with building regulations. It has been fully revised to make it easier to navigate and to cater for the new fire test and assessment methods in Europe for cellular. Summary: This edition of Structural Steel Tables has the same audience in mind as the previous edition, and it is also essentially an abstract from the Red Book. However, the Tenth Edition of the Blue Book is based on the Eighth Edition of the Red Book. The only real change in this edition of the Blue Book relates to Bolted Connections. A new Red Book will be available this month (May) giving practical design advice, worked examples, section properties and member capacities. Description This A5 publication is a practical guide to the design of structural steel for buildings.

The CPR came into force on 24 April 2011; however, some sections of the regulation have been deferred to commence in 2013. The main purpose of the regulation is to simplify and clarify the framework created by the original directive. It is hoped that while being more transparent, the new regulation will be more effective in ensuring harmonised conformity within the European Union in the regulation of construction products.
FIRESTOPPING OF SERVICE PENETRATIONS
Firestopping of Service Penetrations.Best Practice Design and Installation aims to to address service penetrations in buildings and ensure the spread of fire due to inappropriate or poorly installed service penetrations can be eliminated.
