Frequently Asked Questions results for Fire Protection and Engineering

top
AISC peer reviewed and approved answers to your most common technical questions.

11.1.1. What surface preparation should be specified for steel that is to be fireproofed?

11.1.2. What is the meaning of fire resistant? Is it the same thing as fire proof?

11.1.3. Is steel a fire resistant system or material?

11.1.4. What are spray-applied fire-protective materials made of?

11.1.5. Other than spray-applied fire-protective materials, what other materials/methods can be used to fire-protect steel?

11.1.6. How do intumescent painting systems work?

11.1.7. Can spray-applied fire-protection be applied to painted or galvanized steel?

11.1.8. How reliable are sprinkler systems?

11.2.2. Does the grade of steel used affect its response to a fire?

11.2.3. How does a fire impact steel connections? Does it affect connections differently than the members themselves?

11.2.4. Can steel continue to be used in a building after it has been in a fire? How can you assess the capacity of steel that has been exposed to fire? Are there concerns about internal or residual stress effects that have to be considered?

11.2.5. What percentage of its total capacity does a steel beam retain when subjected to the heat of a normal fire? At what temperature does steel lose all of its capacity?

11.2.6. How do concrete- or water-filled tubular steel columns perform in a fire?

11.2.7. Compared to regular steel framing, how do steel joists, channels, tees or castellated beams perform in a fire? Are there any special procedures required to fire-protect them effectively?

11.3.1. What is a fire load? Where do fire loads primarily come from in buildings?

11.3.3. At what temperature does a typical fire burn?

11.3.4. What is “thermal mass”?

11.3.6. What is “flash over”?

11.3.7. Where can one find the thermal conductivity or thermal resistance values of different fire-protective materials?

11.4.1. Are there any structural systems that should be avoided when designing for an area of a building that contains a large fire load?

11.4.3. When a building or system is said to have a 2-hour fire rating, what does that mean?

11.4.4. Does a 2-hour fire rating mean that a building will last for 2-hours in a fire?

11.4.5. Where can one find fire ratings?

11.4.6. What is the difference between “Restrained” and “Unrestrained” ratings?

11.4.7. Are structural steel systems restrained or unrestrained?

11.4.8. How can one determine a fire rating for a system that has not been prequalified, such as a concrete encased steel column?

11.5.1. Which document specifies the fire resistance requirements for the structural system?

11.5.2. Which ASTM Specifications relate to fire-protection and engineering?

11.5.3. I have heard that the ASTM fire specifications are undergoing revision. Is this because of the World Trade Center?

11.5.4. I have heard that the 2005 AISC Specification is going to address fire-protection and engineering. What kinds of issues is the Specification going to address?

11.5.5. What is performance-based design with respect to fire?

11.5.6. How prevalent has performance-based designs become in fire protection?

11.5.7. What is AISC currently doing to help people to design effectively for fire resistance?
