Tabular data



In UK, the fire protection of structural steelwork can be determined from the performance data sheets, published in Fire protection for structural steel in buildings (ASFP 2002), which is commonly referred to as the “Yellow Book”. The Yellow Book provides a comprehensive guide of proprietary materials and systems of fire protection to structural steelwork. For each type of fire protection system, the thickness of fire protection for a specified fire resistance period is simply measured by a parameter called the section factor.
