Abstract :
[en] When testing the fire resistance of metal sandwich panels, the annex B of EN 15254-5 gives rules for the consequently allowed extension of span length. The processing of these rules requires that specific measurements are carried out on joints between panels during the test. When a set of tests has been realised on panels of different thicknesses, but no measurement has been carried out on joints during these tests, the relevance of the following processing is analysed :
1. redo only the tests on panels of minimum and maximum thicknesses and carry out the measurement on joints ;
2. deduce the extended height allowed for these tests ;
3. interpolate these results to panels of intermediate thicknesses.
