Fire resistance related member data

The Member data dialogue contains group Fire resistance for all types of beam if the functionality Concrete Advanced > Fire resistance is turned on in the Project data dialogue.

Detailing provisions

Simply supported member

This option is active only for Beam type = "beam"

If ON, the calculation of values amin and bmin in table Table for minimum dimension bmin and minimum axis distance amin (Table 5.5 and 5.6) uses the column for simply supported member.

 

Type of calculation

The option is active only for Beam type = "Beam" and "Beam slab". The options are:

- from. temp.curve (default},

- automatic,

- input by user.

 

θcr

Default value is 773.15 °C.

This item is active only for Beam type = "Beam" and "Beam slab" and if the Type of calculation = "input by user".

 

Fire (time) resistance R

Default value is 7200 s.

This item is active only if the Type of calculation = "input by user" or "automatic".

 

Column exposed

The item offers two items:

- one side,

- more than one side (default}.

This item is active only for Type of beam = "column".

 

Note: If no member data are assigned to a particular member, the following options are considered:

For columns without member data, Column exposed = "more than one side".

For beams without member data, Type of beams = "continuous beam".

Simplified calculation method

This group is active only if functionality Prestressing is turned on in the Project data dialogue.

Statically determined structure

Default is ON.

Is active for all types of beam.

If OFF, the checks in services Prestress check fire resistance response and Prestress check fire resistancecapacity are not performed and error 810 will appear.
