A Twenty-First Century Approach to Fire Resistance
Most construction types are adversely affected by fire, if it occurs. If the construction is combustible, then the structure may burn down. But even if it is not combustible, a serious fire, especially a post-flashover fire, may result in major damage or even collapse. This is because few materials are available which can stand prolonged application of high temperatures without degradation or failure.
