Background of the RFCS Project DIFISEK+ Background of the RFCS Project DIFISEK+ This project is funded by the European Commission in the frame of the “Research Fund for Coal and Steel” 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 ��� ��� ��� ��� Part 1: Thermal & Mechanical Actions 1 / 50
