Structural steel can lose significant load-bearing strength under high heat, making properly specified passive fire protection essential. Fire ratings must be supported by standards-based testing that ...

Revisions to UL Design No. D982 in the UL Fire Resistance Directory, based on recent fire tests, have heated up long-standing differences between structural-steel interests and fire-protection ...

Much is known about structural steelwork in fire. Rigorous testing, including full-scale building tests in the late 1990s, has led to the development of robust modelling and analytical techniques that ...

Recent tests have resolved a longstanding debate among designers over the amount of fire protection appropriate for a steel floor assembly. Revisions to UL Design No. D982 in the Underwriter ...

Fire performance evaluation of structural systems encompasses the experimental, analytical and computational assessment of how buildings, bridges and other load-bearing frameworks respond to fire ...

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is conducting a public comment period on the update to ASCE/SEI 29-XX Standard Calculation Methods for Structural Fire Protection. The calculation ...

The importance of implementing loss prevention and mitigation techniques that are specifically written for the chemical processing industry Implementing loss prevention and mitigation techniques that ...

Lesniak Swann's campaign for Promat won Gold in B2B Limited Budget at The Drum Awards. This campaign leveraged targeted, concise content to address knowledge gaps in structural steel fire protection, ...
