Background of the RFCS Project DIFISEK+
This project is funded by the European Commission in the frame
The aim of DIFISEK+ is to promote different projects of the last decades that dealt with fire engineering and, which results have been implemented in the EN 1991-1-2. This objective will be reached trough seminars held in different European countries. The partnership of the project is as follows: University of Hannover Institute for Steel Construction
