An Overview of Fireproofing on Structural Steel Members (SP101) - series

Gain a basic understanding of how to help protect structural steel in buildings through effective use of fireproofing systems.

There are various ways to protect exposed structural steel in the event of a fire, whether in an airport, shopping mall, or in a commercial building. This presentation will provide an overview of different methods of steel protection with a focus on IFRM (intumescent fire resistive material). Participants will gain an understanding of key terminology associated with this application and how the different types of protection are designed to function in the event of a fire. You will also learn how intumescent steel protection is installed and what to consider during the design process, from an aesthetic standpoint as well as how to understand critical design elements found on the UL listings.
