Question

How does the fire resistance design according to EC 3 work with the STEEL EC3 add-on module?


Answer:
In order to carry out a fire resistance design in STEEL EC3, it is necessary to select a load case or a load combination for which the fire resistance design is to be carried out in the "Fire Resistance" tab in Window 1.1.

As soon as you have selected the load for the fire resistance design, an additional window, "Fire Resistance - Members" or "Fire Resistance - Set of Members" (if sets of members are to be calculated in the module case) is displayed in the module navigator on the left. In this Window 1.10 or 1.11, you can make further settings for the fire protection design of the structural component.

Further detail settings (for example, the required duration of fire protection, and others) can also be found by clicking on the [Details ...] button and selecting the "Fire Resistance" tab.

You can find more information for this in the manual of STEEL EC3.
