Main beam of roof structure in 30min fire exposure
ingle-span main beam of a flat roof structure is GLVL 48 P beam 133x400 mm. Span length
L
= 4000 mm, width of the loading area 8000 mm and roof purlins are on the top of the
eam. Support length is 100 mm. Snow load
s
k
is 2,5 kN/m
2
, own weight of the roof structure
1,0 kN/m
2
and own weigh of the beam is 0,2 kN/m. The structure fulfils the ULS and SLS
equirements in normal temperature where
w
net,fi
≤ L/300 has been the most critical
equirement. The fire resistance R30 of the beam needs to be verified for fire exposure on all
ides of the beam.
