This extract from s4.5.5 Fire Engineering - Issues Group Reports from the Steel - Framing the Future project report explains that generic building codes may not provide the most suitable solution for today’s steel buildings. Fire engineering can be used to ensure the structural solution is developed with respect to each particular building’s characteristics, resulting in efficiencies of design, cost, aesthetics and program. The full section provides a summary of fire engineering to assist developers, designers and authorities to understand the methodologies used to assess steel buildings and the benefits of fire engineering.
