This model illustrates the fire resistance design for reinforced concrete members in the context of a tapered frame. The application of the zone method to determine the damaged zone and the temperature course is explained in a practical way. In addition, concepts such as the equivalent wall and reduced cross-section are taken into account to show the effect of fire loads. The linked image shows a typical example of the tapered frame as implemented in the solution.
