Safety from fire is of major concern in all types of buildings from a housing or industrial or commercial. The best means of preventing dissemination of fire and smoke is to install a reliable fire stop barrier system. The process of selecting materials requires proper knowledge about their properties and their intended uses and the applicable safety regulations.
The use of steel in contemporary buildings is extensive due to its strength, durability and ability to design. Nevertheless, although steel is non-combustible, it becomes weak under high temperatures. This is why fireproofing of steel structure is important to provide safety and adherence to the requirements of buildings. The knowledge of fire protection and its corresponding compatibility with building codes are important issues that require architects, engineers, contractors, and property owners to understand how fire protection works.
