Shadowing Effect in Fire Resistance Design According to EN 1993-1-2

Examples:
Three-sided: [Am/V]b = (h + h + b)/V
Four-sided: [Am/V]b = (h + h + b + b)/V
h and b are the outer dimensions of the cross-section.

There is no information in the standard regarding the determination of the correction factor ksh for three-sided fire exposure. In the RF‑/STEEL EC3 add‑on module, the correction factor ksh is always considered.
