Learning Objectives
Recall the difference between active and passive fire protection systems and outline how each passive system discussed is designed to maintain the structural stability and integrity of the steel members for a defined length of time.
Explain how connections are attached to the core column and can penetrate the outer shell of the prefabricated fireproof column without compromising the fire rating, AISC standards, or AESS requirements.
Summarize the design and erection considerations related to prefabricated fireproof columns, including column design, allowable safe loads, and shop detail drawings, stating how they affect column size and manufacture.
Discuss the cost savings that can be realized by utilizing prefabricated fireproof columns versus rigid board encasement, intumescent paint, and spray-applied coatings.
