The importance of fire fighting equipment in steel structure buildings

In recent years, with the development of urban construction and the increase of high-rise buildings, the development of steel structure buildings in my country is very rapid. During the construction of steel structure buildings, construction waste and construction noise are reduced to a minimum. In addition, steel structure buildings have high seismic performance, easy reconstruction and demolition, and high recycling and reuse rate of materials. It is a green industry with harmonious and sustainable development between man and nature. Please do not ignore the related issues such as fire protection and anti-corrosion.

Due to the many shortcomings of concrete structure buildings, with the advancement of modern technology and the improvement of environmental protection awareness, steel structure buildings have been greatly developed. Whether it is for industrial or civil use, many builders tend to use steel structures. All kinds of steel structure houses stand in the alleys of big cities, which also indicates that a new round of changes in construction has come. Many construction parties strive to make the steel structure to meet the predetermined functional requirements such as safety, applicability and durability under the specified conditions and period of use at the lowest cost. But please don't ignore the firefighting facilities of the steel structure building in the later use. The following points should be paid attention to: the property rights unit, user unit or property management unit of civil public buildings shall implement unified management of the building, and can conduct regular inspections on each steel structure building to facilitate timely discovery of problems and active rectification. In the case of residential buildings, due to their private nature, it is difficult for management units to conduct long-term home inspections. Once the fire protection layer of the steel structure is damaged or fails due to aging, it cannot be found in time, resulting in long-term hidden dangers.

Destruction of fire protection layer of steel structure platform by decoration. Some owners usually renovate the building before use, even if fire protection measures are taken during the construction, due to the lack of professional knowledge of the owners and the importance of it, they did not protect it during the renovation process. Once the protective layer of the steel structure is damaged or even peeled off, it is often not repaired. Once a fire occurs, it will affect the safety of the main structure of the building and cause loss of life and property.

For the fire protection facilities of other civil buildings, such as fire alarm systems and automatic sprinkler systems, the national fire protection regulations have relatively clear requirements. Residential buildings have long been regarded as large-scale and wide-ranging economic buildings with relatively low cost and investment standards. Except for the high-rise residential buildings with a height of more than 100 meters and the high-rise residential buildings belonging to the first-class high-rise buildings, which should be equipped with automatic sprinkler systems, other types of multi- and high-rise residential buildings only need fire hydrant systems. It can be seen that, such as civil buildings that also use steel structure systems, the fire safety factor of residential buildings is relatively low because the regulations do not require the installation of automatic sprinkler systems. I hope everyone will not ignore the importance of fire protection in steel structure buildings.
