| Building fire is one of common fires in people's lives. It causes great and direct impact upon people's lives and fortune. Therefore, how to protect building fire is extremely important globally for all the time. With developing economy and emerging construction market in recent years, steel structure becomes prime choice for construction material since it, comparing to armored concrete, has three unique advantages,'high, massive, and light'. That is, steel structure provides a number of excellent capabilities such as high intension, light deadweight, stable capability, good tenacity, easy-to-assemble, short construction time, good anti-seismic functionality, fast Return on Investment (ROI), reduce pollution to environment, as well as batch production. However, fire-resistant functionality of steel structure is not as good as others, and the intension goes down quickly after heated up. Steel structure in building causes innate hidden trouble to safety of lives and fortune if it does not meet the level of construction components fire resistant required by national code. So, it is mandatory to process steel structure fire-protection.Today, fire control institutions throughout the world are studying the issues of steel construction fire protection process. Steel structure passive fire protection provides sufficient time of fire resistant, for example, fireproofing coating, fireproofing board, etc. the other, steel structure positive fire protection, mainly focus on improving the steel self fireproofing capability or set up structure spray. Currently the coating is considered as one of the most efficient measures. Steel structure fireproofing coating is implemented in over 90 percent of steel structure fireproofing construction to perform protection significantly. As steel structure design is for high and huge space. Therefore, the current code has its limitation for state-of-the-art architecture design and style development needs. Functionality fireproofing design offers more excellence than traditional fireproofing design. Functionality design of fireproofing ensures the dependability of architecture and safety of building.The purpose of studying steel structure fireproofing is to improve the fire protection design of steel structure, thus to reduce casualties and loss of fortune. Successful experience in fire protection of steel construction has accumulated greatly in foreign countries, even implemented into the code of fire protection and functionality design. Relatively, it is still in early developing stage in China since hardly any systemic study of fire protection has been conducted, and no code of fire protection of steel structure construction has been made. |
