ACI 216.1-07 code for concrete elements

The ACI 216.1-07 code (Code Requirements for Determining Fire Resistance of Concrete and Masonry. Construction Assemblies) has been implemented in CYPECAD.

The checks of the ACI 216.1-07 code are carried out automatically when users activate the Check fire resistance box and have selected one of the ACI concrete codes: CIRSOC (Argentina), NSR-10 (Colombia), the ACI code itself, etc.).

As occurs with other codes that have been implemented, with the ACI 216.01-07:

  • Users indicate the fire resistance properties: define the required resistance and coatings the program is to design, if necessary.
  • The check is based on design limits of the elements and the reinforcement cover, which can be increased for greater protection.
  • Concrete columns have a specific fire resistance check.
