Research on Fire Resistance Rating Requirements in Chinese and American Codes While Designing Power-generation Steel Structures
-
Abstract
While designing power-generation steel structures, different rules should be followed using Chinese and American design codes. Fire resistance rating requirements in Chinese and American codes are listed and compared in details. As to oversea EPC projects, this issue comes with more complicated situation. To ensure safety of steel structures, higher requirements of fire resistance rating need to be executed. However, to reduce the building cost of EPC projects, adopting lower requirements seems more beneficial. Balance should be made between safety and economization. In the end, advises are given on fire resistance design of power-generation steel structures in oversea EPC projects.
