The assessment of fire safety of cast iron structures in historical buildings: Theory and practice
conference paper
The assessment of structural fire safety of cast iron structures in historical buildings is difficult because the available information on the fire behaviour is limited, whilst the fire design assumptions (if any) often are not well docu-mented. A complicating factor with regard to protective measures is that gen-erally the cast iron construction - in view of its historical value - must remain visible. In other words: fire insulation by spray or boards. which is quite com-monly applied for steel structures, is no realistic option for cast iron in historical buildings
