ABSTRACT

 

            Steel is a type of material that performs badly in fire. At 550ēC the yield has fallen to approximately 0.5 of its value at normal temperatures; that is, it has reached its working stress and failure occurs under working loads.

 

            This report is given a brief ideal on how to design the steel element against damage by fire. In this report, it covered three sub topics, there are Calculation Of Temperature, Design Of Non-composite steelwork and methods Of Protection.

 

            Each of the sub topics present the methods and theory that had been used in designing the steel elements against damage by fire.
