All parameters given for a low-utilisation member
Steel Critical Temp
Calculates steel critical temperature from an explicit fire design load ratio using the Eurocode-style relationship theta_cr = 39.19 ln(1/(0.9674 mu^3.833) - 1) + 482. The template reports the critical temperature, margin to a protection trigger, and a numeric protection requirement indicator.
