Projeto de estruturas de concreto en situação de incêndio.
Implemented in the “Fire resistance check” module and checks the fire resistance and designs the protective coatings for beams, floor slabs, columns, concrete shear walls and walls using the tabular method defined in this code.
With this code, the “Fire resistance check” module carries out the following checks and designs:
- For the indicated structural elements for which a protective coating can be defined, the program designs the minimum thickness of the protective coating so that the requirements of the applied code are met.
- For the indicated structural elements for which a protective coating can be defined, the program checks the element with the assigned fire resistance data.
- If a coating is assigned to a structural element and the program verifies it is not needed to meet the requirements stated in the corresponding code, the program will indicate the coating of the structural element is not necessary, and so the minimum thickness of the coating will be applied for construction reasons.
Users must have the “Fire resistance check” module to be able to carry out these checks, as well as the corresponding aforementioned structural elements.
The fire resistance check in CYPECAD is activated in the “General data” dialogue box (Job > General data). Upon activating it, a dialogue box opens where users can define the required resistance, the compartmentation of the floors (with or without compartmentation) and the coatings of the construction elements. If users wish to use the “ABNT NBR 15200:2012” fire resistance code, the “ABNT NBR 6118:2014” or “ABNT NBR 6118:2007” concrete code must be selected in CYPECAD.
The corresponding Brazilian code required to carry out the fire resistance checks of steel beams and columns in CYPECAD and steel sections in CYPE 3D will be implemented in upcoming versions.
