fireprotection

Everything in this world is prone to accidents and mishaps. The same is the situation with buildings. Accidents such as sudden fire eruption, earthquakes and other environmental calamities pose serious threat to the buildings.  It is the reason that adequate precautionary measures are taken at the time of building construction in order to protect them from potential damage. These protection thermal materials are manufactures and applied to the structure of the buildings. Working and Functions of Fire Protectors in Construction The major function of the protective material used in building construction to create a heat resistance in the skeleton of buildings to delay the process of destruction.   The idea is based on diverting the variation of heat temperatures by increasing molecular reaction.  Further, firestopping materials work as physical fire barrier to reduce transfer rate of energy. It is usually done with the help of conduction or convection to c...

Introduction: No matter how advanced the world becomes, there are some threats that will always live. We just cannot overrule them. Some are natural and in most cases unstoppable, despite so many advancements in the domain of technology (rains and earthquakes can be used as two classic examples here). On the other hand, passive fires that are usually caused by neglect can be classified as a very lethal threat.   Every year thousands of precious lives are lost due to passive fires that may take place due to any reason, i.e. it could be a short circuit, gas leakage or even mishandling of highly inflammable products like kerosene, petrol and gas. What can be done then? In the case of natural disasters like earthquakes, torrential floods, storms and other extreme weather types, of course, we may fail to stop them, it would be just a fight for survival and coping with such situations. However, in the case of passive fires, one can act smart and try to avoid them to the ful...
