Design
Buildings constructed from the Kingspan Metro Building System are designed to ensure they will not suffer collapse to an extent disproportionate to the cause of the accidental damage. Kingspan Metro Building System Design Engineers are able to provide design solutions with appropriate structural integrity and robustness.
The details provide a structure that is “deemed to satisfy” current structural integrity (robustness) requirements without further checks on notional removal of supports. A Kingspan Metro Building System structure will, with the standard details incorporated, satisfy requirements for minimum tying and limiting the effects of accidental removal of supports.
Structural integrity provisions vary according to the number of storeys, occupancy usage and floor plan area. There are three categories or classes within the market sectors of the System which apportion these requirements:
