INTRODUCTION
  • Building fire and safety is a major concern in
    designing structures
  • From an architects perspective, steel structure
    buildings provide more leeway for imparting
    better aesthetic appeal
  • However what steel structure buildings the
    darling of architects is its fireproofing
    properties

Types of Steel Structures
  • Rigid frames these structures are welded
    together based on specific design
  • Trusses Trusses are a combination of members in
    triangular shapes
  • Beams Beams are designed to take vertical and
    gravity loads

Multi Storey Steel Frame Construction The
Fireproof Advantages
  • Steel does not change shape easily even during a
    fire-related disaster
  • Steel is isotropic has the same properties in
    all dimensional changes
  • The right type of steel does not shrink, warp or
    crack under fire
