About this ebook
Fireproof Skyscrapers explores the science and engineering behind modern skyscraper fire safety, highlighting how these architectural achievements have evolved to better withstand and prevent fire catastrophes. The book examines three core areas: fire-resistant materials, effective fire escape strategies, and advanced fire prevention technologies. Interestingly, steel and concrete are engineered to endure extreme temperatures for extended durations, and protected stairwells play a vital role in safe evacuation.
Tracing the history from early steel-frame construction to the present day, the book reviews landmark fire events that influenced building codes, including standards from the NFPA and ICC. The book advocates for an integrated approach combining fire resistance, strategic evacuation, and active prevention.
Progressing logically, the book first introduces fire science principles, then investigates materials, analyzes escape strategies, explores prevention systems, and concludes with case studies of successful implementations. This book offers valuable insights for professionals seeking to enhance fire safety in skyscrapers.
