Fire design

Due to increasingly stringent fire safety regulations and standards, fire design has become an integral part of everyday engineering work. Structural design now overlaps with fire protection planning, making the task far from straightforward. In Consteel, critical temperature calculation is implemented, and analysis can be conducted at both room and elevated temperatures. With these tools, our platform offers comprehensive solutions for the fire protection of structures, guiding you through this engineering challenge.

Specific Feature Solutions for Fire design in Consteel

Global buckling analysis

Global buckling analysis serves Consteel’s automatic stability design based on the General Method of EN 1993-1-1. It is a linear eigenvalue analysis performed on the whole structural model calculating the elastic critical load levels and connected buckling shapes showing the relevant modes of stability loss. All global buckling modes (flexural, torsional, and lateral-torsional buckling, and any interactions of these) are calculated, visualized and can be used for automatic design.

Critical temperature calculation

The fire design process is an integrated part of the Consteel automated and efficient design process. Depending on the designed fire protection solution, the structure can be unprotected or protected, in the latter case, the fire protection can be passive (insulation) or reactive (intumescent painting). The calculation can be performed with material properties at elevated or at room temperature. In the case of elevated temperature analysis, the indirect effects of thermal expansion can also be considered separately. For reactive protection, the critical temperatures are calculated for any steel member.
