Hello
I have been searching for a while but can't find a good explanation for the addition method for fire protection calculation.
Paroc has an explanation, but besides fixed minimum base values for different materials, the placement in relation to each other plays a big role.
How do I calculate the distance value? It also seems to depend on the properties of the other components.
How do I find the minimum base values for different materials that are not listed by Paroc?
I want to use the method to verify the fire resistance in constructions with different insulation materials, but most manufacturers only provide a Euroclass, which doesn't seem to tell the whole story, or does it?

I assume it is this document from Paroc you have referred to? http://www.paroc.se/~/media/files/brochures/sweden/insulation-theory-se.ashx
I don't know if I understand the question; there is a table with position coefficients on page 37, isn't that what you're looking for?
I just have to point out that the addition method is only OK to use up to a fire safety class of EI60. But otherwise, it is a good method that is widely accepted.
