Oct 17, 2011 · A structural fire engineering assessment demonstrated that 60 minutes of fire resistance was sufficient to satisfy the functional requirements of the building, compared with the prescriptive recommendations, which would have required 120 minutes of resistance.
It is important to recognise that structural fire safety measures can make a contribution to the protection of property and, as a consequence, premium reductions may be derived from insurers if advice offered by their surveyors is followed.
structural fire-resistant design of concrete and steel structures. The best practice guidelines document is intended to be a technical resource that provides the most complete information for structural fire-resistant design at present.

Oct 31, 2021 · Structural fire engineering is a performance-based approach to design and analyze structural systems under realistic fire conditions and to use this understanding as the basis for determining an appropriate level of fire resistance.
Sep 1, 2020 · This paper charts the emergence of fire resistance, and its rise to ubiquity – with a focus on British codes and standards. Beginning as a method for independent testing of ‘fireproofing’ systems, fire resistance was formalised in the USA, and subsequently in the UK.
