Book Description

Excerpt from The Fireproofing of Steel Buildings But even if the distinctly practicable recommendations alone are followed, a structure capable of resisting severe attacks by fire and water, with a minimum of repair reconstruction after fire, will surely result. The efficiency of modern methods has been largely demonstrated by past experience, and this experience has proved that still more perfect fireproofing may result if the structure is scientifically designed and conscientiously built and equipped. For the purpose of tracing through the important elements of fireproof design and construction, the following chapters have been arranged to cover: Introductory and development, Chapters I and II. Fires and tests, Chapters III and IV. Materials, Chapters V and VI. Planning, Chapter VII. Details, Chapters VIII to XIII inclusive. Equipment, Chapter XIV.
