 Abstract

Essentially the dimensioning of casings for the fire protection of steel structures is an economical optimization problem: if more insulation material is used the direct cost increases but on the other hand the loss expectation decreases. From this point of view two problems will be discussed in this paper: the so-called fundamental case from reliability theory and the centrically loaded Euler column. Results and conclusions may be useful for practical applications as well as further research.
