If you are finding interpreting the NCC somewhat arduous, then we can help.
The Permax team specialise in providing assistance with structural steel design in various fire case scenarios, allowing you to make the right decision as to what is required for your project. If you need an help, please, get in touch with our specialised team who can help you with a range of scenarios including:
- Specifying the correct steel section for the load (rf) ratios of your design. Many people fail to recognise that this is paramount as it is the only way to assure that your structure is adequately fire protected.
- We can assist in optimising the quantity of fire protection material according to the load ratio on the structure, often saving money on the project total
- Understanding AS4100 Section 12. In premise we help you interpret and define the limiting steel temperature dependent on the design load on a member in a fire situation against its design load capacity.
- Determining the maximum FRL that can be achieved for certain steel members
