THICKNESS f1 DENSITY f2
where,
f1 = thickness (T in the figures above) in length units
f2 = density of fireproofing material in (force / length ^ 3) units
In the actual load case itself, nothing besides the SELFWEIGHT
command is necessary to instruct the program to include the
weight of the fireproofing material in the selfweight calculation.
