RF-TIMBER Pro - Dlubal Software

2 Input Data
Beam Type
The beam type is of vital importance for the correct application of limit deformations. In table
column G, you can select the girder to be a beam or a cantilever.
The settings specified in the Serviceability tab of the Details dialog box determine whether
the deformations are related to the undeformed initial structure or to the shifted ends of
members or sets of members (see Figure 3.3, page 32).
2.9 Fire Protection - Members
Table 1.9 manages the fire resistance parameters of the members selected for the design. It
is only available if you have set relevant entries in the Fire Resistance tab of table 1.1 (see
chapter 2.1.2, page 10).
Figure 2.21: Table 1.9 Fire Protection - Members
Members No.
Table column A contains the members that are taken into account by the design. Click the
[...] button to use the pick function for a graphical member selection in the RFEM work
window.
Exposed to Fire - Four Sides
RF-TIMBER Pro assumes that the cross-section is exposed to fire on all sides. If the assumption
is wrong and the given circumstances are different, clear the check box. Then it is possible
to access the subsequent table columns.
Exposed to Fire
In case the charring does not occur on all four sides, you can define the cross-section sides
exposed to fire in the columns C to F. The entries are required in order to determine the
ideal remaining cross-section with the fire resistance settings specified in the Details dialog
box (see chapter 3.1.4, page 32) correctly.
