Fire Protection of Structural Elements - Concrete and Steel
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.
AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION ATTENDEES WILL BE ABLE TO
• Discuss Fire Resistance Levels and their meaning for steel and concrete structures.
• Understand testing to AS1530.4
• Select an appropriate fire protection method for concrete and steel elements
