Structural fire protection guards are essential structural components from the devastating effects of fire. This course examines the various active and passive fire protection methods that are available with a focus on the features, types, and design considerations of prefabricated fireproof structural columns designed for exposed exterior and interior load bearing columns.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the difference between active and passive fire protection and strategies used in commercial building design
- Define the applications, composition, shapes, features, and standards related to prefabricated fireproof structural columns
- State the design and erection considerations related to prefabricated fireproof columns, including column design, allowable safe loads, allowable safe loads, and through-shell connections
- Discuss the lifetime cost savings that can be realized by utilizing prefabricated fireproof columns versus rigid board encasement, intumescent paint, and spray-applied coatings
