Fire Design of Post-Installed Rebar Applications

Daniel Lim
Reading time: < 10 minutes
Fire incidents remain a major risk to life and property, potentially weakening concrete structures and causing collapse. Structural fire safety is therefore essential in building codes such as the Eurocodes, which set minimum fire resistance requirements for structural elements and connections to ensure safe evacuation, effective rescue, and controlled fire suppression.

Firestop System and Airflow Control

Daniel Lim
Reading time: < 10 minutes
Hospitals present unique safety challenges. Firstly, many occupants have limited mobility, which increases evacuation time during a fire. This makes effective fire containment and compartmentalization essential to support safe, phased evacuation. Secondly, as mission-critical facilities, hospitals must remain operational during and after a fire event. Fire protection systems therefore need to minimize damage and help ensure continuity of essential services.
