Fire analysis

Dear all.
I'm modeling insulated RC beam strengthened with NSM  FRP bars under fire exposure.
Usually I apply on the beam the fire in function of time (for two hours of test I set in the first 15 minutes the temperature at 20 Degrees and the following 120 minutes increasing of temperature, ISO 834) and the load in function of time (first 15 minutes a steadly increase of load till the service load and following 120 minutes constant load). In this way I can simuate what I have done during testing:
I applied before the service load to the beam and then I start the fire test.
For testing in which the protection stay in place for all the duration of fire exposure (2 hours) I usually use the following *.DCF.

Apparently is working
I have some specimens in which at certain time (e.g. after 60 minutes) part of the insulated protection detach from the beam. I would like to work in phased analysis, but I do not have any idea how can I apply the load and temperature in function of time in combination with the phased analysis.
Can someone help me??
Thanks in advance for the suggestions
Looking forward to hearing from you.
