节选段落二：
This paper for the first time
presents such a procedure for the fire resistance design of FRP-strengthened RC beams. The proposed procedure distinguishes three levels
(Level I, Level II, and Level III) of fire insulation design to satisfy the specified fire resistance rating.

Framework for Three-Level Fire Resistance Design
The step-by-step procedure for the fire resistance design of FRP-
strengthened RC beams is based on a three-level framework that
aims to strike a good balance between the cost of fire insulation
and the fire resistance rating to be achieved.
