What are the available methods to fire protect Steel-framed buildings?<br />
In buildings, fire protection entails a series of measures that lead to the provision of escapes,<br />
compartments and suppression systems to either prevent or mitigate an outbreak of fire.<br />
A wide range of materials and products are available to protect structural steelwork from fire. An<br />
appropriate type of protection can be selected based on the needs of the development.<br />
The fire protection system can be applied using the profile, box and solid methods. Steel beams<br />
that are designed as a composite section with the slab usually require a three-sided protection.<br />
Vertical members such as columns usually require a four-sided protection.<br />
