Question

In RF‑CONCRETE Columns, I get a design ratio > 1 for the fire resistance design. How can the design be fulfilled in the add-on module?


Answer:
The add-on module determines the required reinforcement for the ultimate limit state. The fire resistance design is performed as a design based on the determined reinforcement. The reinforcement will not be increased in this process. If the design is not fulfilled, you can either define a higher reinforcement manually or adjust the concrete cover to prevent the applied reinforcement from being overly damaged by the effects of fire.
