Abstract (en)

Fire-resistant element, comprising a steel I-section or H-section (1) which is used in building structures. Unlike conventional solutions in which for improvement of the fire resistance such an element is clad with a casing or the like on all sides which are exposed to a possible fire, it is now proposed to provide only one side of the flange with a cladding (6,10). The cladding can comprise a coating (6) or sheet (10), and in the latter case preferably projects slightly beyond the surface of the horizontal flange. The element can be in the form of a beam or a column. In the former instance the fire-resistant cladding is situated on the underside of the bottom flange. <IMAGE>
