STRUCTURAL FIRE PROTECTION IS A MUST
Basic insulating materials and systems:
Structural fire protection plays a vital role in the construction industry. Building designers consistently juggle various considerations in fire protection, including spatial requirements, cost-effectiveness, weight, and aesthetic concerns, among others.
The primary aim of structural fire protection is to insulate the steel core of a high-rise building. Civil engineers and architects continuously work on innovative designs to encapsulate the inner framework of the building and delay the steel bars’ exposure to heat.
Passive fire protection
Passive fire protection constitutes a significant aspect of the comprehensive strategy for structural fire protection in your building. In the case of most public structures, compliance with passive fire protection is mandated by law.
This entails the inclusion of specific fire walls, fire doors, and fire floors (or similar barrier structures) in your building plans to impede the rapid spread of a fire should one occur.
To gain further insights into the regulations applicable to your building, it is advisable to consult your local fire marshal and/or building inspector, who can provide information regarding the local laws in your area.
