Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the fire resistance of load-bearing columns as used in building construction and their ability to withstand impact and sudden cooling from hose streams when in a highly heated condition through a series of 106 tests of columns, of which 91 were fire tests and 15 were fire and water tests. The scope of the tests includes representative types of unprotected structural steel, cast iron, concrete-filled pipes, and timber columns, as well as different combinations of materials used for protecting the columns from fire and impact damage, such as concrete, hollow clay tile, clay brick, gypsum block, and metal lath and plaster. The author conducted a large number of auxiliary tests of constituent materials including several hundred compression tests of concrete employed. The book presents insights into the characteristics of columns and their materials, useful limits, and practical application, which are valuable not only for professionals in structural engineering, building design, and fire protection but also for students in these fields seeking to enhance their knowledge of fire resistance in building construction.
