Manage the detailing of the fire resistance design for an object in the Fire Resistance Configuration. In this dialog box, you can define the required fire resistance time and the fire exposure. The basic structure of the design configurations dialog box and the option for assigning objects is described in the parent chapter Timber Design .
Members
The design is currently limited to simple rectangular cross-sections
and circular cross-sections
. For all other types of cross-section, an error message appears.
By defining the fire resistance time and the fire exposure, a residual cross-section is determined on which the design according to the given standard is performed. If the cross-section is not exposed to fire on all sides, you can deactivate the respective direction.
For a circular cross-section
, the definition of the fire exposure is not relevant because the cross-section is reduced over the entire circumference.
Surfaces
In the Surfaces tab, you can define the fire resistance time and the fire exposure in the +z direction, as well as in the -z direction of the surface. Furthermore, it is possible to consider an additional protection, such as a gypsum board.
Standard Parameters
In the Standard Parameters tab, you can adjust the standard-specific parameters to modify the charring rates, for example.
For the fire resistance design, it is necessary to select a Design Situation Type with the designation Fire on the design side. Otherwise, no fire protection design is carried out.
