Steel frame

Fire prevention is one of the very important considerations in the design and construction of building engineering, especially for buildings using steel structures. Steel structure engineering manufacturers for you to answer, the following are some common steel structure fire prevention measures:

Fireproof coating: Fireproof coating is one of the common fire prevention measures for steel structure. These coatings can be applied to steel beams, columns, beam-column joints and other parts to form a protective film and improve the fire resistance of steel. Fireproof coatings are usually high temperature and fire resistant special materials that can form a protective layer in the event of fire and delay the temperature rise of the steel structure.

Fire-resistant encapsulation: For columns and beams, fire-resistant encapsulation can be used. This is done by wrapping the column or beam in a special fireproof material to form a protective layer and improve its fire resistance.

Refractory coating: Similar to fireproof coating, refractory coating is a special coating formed on the surface of steel structure, with high temperature resistance and heat insulation properties. This coating is usually made of special refractory materials that can protect steel structures in the event of a fire.

Fire insulation board: some parts of the steel structure, such as beam and column joints, can be used fire insulation board. These sheets are usually specialized insulation materials that slow down heat transfer in the event of a fire and prevent the temperature from rising too quickly.

Fireproof mortar: Fireproof mortar is a common fireproof material that can be used to wrap the surface of steel structures to form a protective layer. Fireproof mortar has good thermal insulation performance and can slow down the speed of steel structure heating in fire.

Structural protection: Consider structural protection in the design stage, such as by increasing the structural depth, changing the structural form, etc., so that the steel structure frame is more difficult to be directly affected by high temperature and flame in the fire.

Fire alarm and automatic fire extinguishing system: The installation of fire alarm system and automatic fire extinguishing system in the building can detect and extinguish the fire in the early stage, reducing the impact of the fire on the steel structure.

Fire fighting equipment and facilities: Ensure that the building is equipped with appropriate fire fighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, etc., and clear evacuation and escape routes.
