Fire Protection of Steel and Concrete Structures
Introduction
When exposed to high temperatures, steel and concrete can lose their strength and load-bearing capacity. Fire protection measures, such as fire-resistant coatings, wraps and board systems, are applied to maintain the structural integrity of buildings and prevent collapse during a fire. This discussion will examine the testing of fire resistance levels and installation of the fire protection systems for concrete and steel structural elements.
