Use Fire Resistance Configuration to manage the detailed settings for the fire resistance design of an object. In this dialog box, you can specify the required time of the fire resistance and the fire exposure. The basic structure of the design configuration dialog box and the option of assigning it to the individual objects are described in the superordinate chapter Timber Design .
Members
The design is currently limited to a simple rectangular cross-sectioni
and a circular cross-section
. For any other cross-section types, you will get an error message.
By defining the fire resistance time and the fire exposure, a residual cross-section is determined, on which the design is performed according to the corresponding standard. If the cross-section is not exposed to fire on all sides, you should clear the corresponding direction.
For a circular cross-section
, the definition of the fire exposure is of no interest, as the cross-section is reduced over the complete perimeter.
Surfaces
In addition to the fire resistance duration, the fire exposure in the +z direction and in the -z direction of the surface can be defined for surfaces. Additional protection, for example a gypsum board, can also be taken into account.
Standard Parameters
In this 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 "Fire" description on the design side. Otherwise, no fire resistance design is carried out.
