temperature
curve
|
Available temperature curves are:
-
ISO 834 curve,
-
external fire curve,
-
hydrocarbon curve,
-
smouldering fire.

|
correction factor for beam exposed
on 3 sides
|
Adaptation
factor for non-uniform temperature distribution across a cross
section exposed on three sides.
Default value = 0.70.
|
|
correction factor for columns and beams
|
This
value is a correction factor that allows for a number of effects,
including the difference in the strain at failure.
The value is empirical.
Default value = 1.2.
|
|
analysis type
|
The
fire resistance check can be performed in three domains:
-
strength domain,
-
temperature domain,
-
time domain.
In the resistance domain, the resistance is
checked after the imposed time.
In the temperature or time domain, the material
temperature (after the imposed time) is checked in relation to
the critical material temperature.
|
|
iterative process
|
The
critical material temperature is calculated using the analytical
formulas of the code, or by an iterative process.
|
|
safety
factor for fire situation
|
The partial safety factor for fire situation.
Default value is 1.0.
