Mechanical response

The software allows for the calculation of the critical temperature, critical time, resistance

function of the steel temperature and resistance function of a given time for members

subjected to:

Tension

Compression

Bending (with or without Lateral Torsional Buckling - LTB)

Shear

Combined bending and compression (with or without LTB)

Combined bending and shear

 

 

Thermal response

 Calculation of the thickness of the fire protection material needed to ensure a certain fire

resistance.

 Calculation of the time to reaches the critical temperature of the element.

 Calculation of the temperature reached after the introduced critical time.

The software allows for the consideration of the following temperature-time curves:

Standard Fire Curve ISO 834

Hydrocarbon Fire Curve

Parametric Fire Curve

Localised Fire (with the possibility to consider multiple localised fires)

User defined Fire Curve
