2 Input Data<br />
2.1.3 Fire Resistance<br />
Figure 2.4: Table 1.1 General Data, tab Fire Resistance<br />
Existing Load Cases / Load Groups and Load Combinations<br />
These two sections list all load cases, load groups and load combinations created in RSTAB.<br />
Thus, it is required for the fire protection design that the superposition in an appropriate<br />
combination must have been done already in RSTAB.<br />
Selected for Design<br />
Adding and removing load cases, load groups and load combinations is described in chapter<br />
2.1.1. The load selection must include the actions and combinations that have been created<br />
in RSTAB specifically for the fire protection design.<br />
The fire protection design is performed by means of a reduced cross-section. In the dialog<br />
box National Annex Settings (see Figure 2.5) as well as in the Details dialog box, tab Fire Resistance<br />
(see Figure 3.4, page 32), you can define detailed specifications for the fire resistance<br />
design.<br />
2.1.4 Standard Parameters<br />
With the lists of the selection fields in the upper right corner of table 1.1 General Data, you<br />
can define the standard or NA whose parameters you want to apply to the design and the<br />
limit values of the deformation.<br />
Use the [Edit] button to check the preset parameters of the active code or NA. If necessary,<br />
you can adjust the settings (see Figure 2.5).<br />
To create a user-defined national annex, use the [New] button.<br />
The buttons in the bottom left corner of the NA Settings dialog box allow you to save modified<br />
values as default setting. Furthermore, you can use the buttons to import saved parameters<br />
or to restore the program presettings.<br />
A user-defined national annex can be deleted by using the [Delete] button.<br />
