The Importance Of Fire Protection In Steel Structure Buildings

The Importance Of Fire Protection In Steel Structure Buildings

The corrosion of steel structure is a relatively slow process, which is a kind of damage from the outside to the inside. It is easy to observe directly, so it is often taken seriously. Fire is a sudden event. Fire prevention is a preventive measure against this emergency.

If there is no fire, expensive investment may never play a role, and because the steel structure itself will not burn, so on the surface, light steel structure buildings should have good fire resistance, so people often have flukes , while ignoring the importance of fire protection.

In fact, poor fire resistance is precisely a major weakness of light steel structure buildings. If a steel structure building encounters a fire, once the fire causes the surrounding environment to reach a certain temperature, the steel components will lose 80% of their mechanical strength in an instant, causing the building to collapse. Therefore, as far as the protection of light steel structures is concerned, fire prevention and anti-corrosion are indispensable, and even fire prevention is more important than anti-corrosion.
