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