Advances in Constructional Engineering

With the booming development of the construction industry, steel structures have gained widespread application in various buildings due to their high strength, light weight, and ease of construction. However, the poor fire resistance of steel structures has significantly hindered their further development. This article focuses on the critical area of fireproof coatings for steel structures, delving into their impact on the fire resistance performance of building structures. By analyzing the characteristics and mechanisms of different types of fireproof coatings, and combining detailed experimental data, it reveals their crucial role in significantly extending the fire endurance of steel structures and effectively delaying structural failure, providing highly valuable references for fire protection design in buildings.
