Intumescent Coating and Fire Protection of Steel Structures 1st Edition

Intumescent Coating and Fire Protection of Steel Structures, 1st Edition by Guo-Qiang Li, Ling-Ling Wang, Qing Xu and Jun-Wei Ge is an authoritative, practice-focused guide for engineers, architects, specifiers and construction professionals working on fire safety for steel structures.

Capture immediate value with a clear roadmap for applying modern intumescent coating technology to deliver reliable fire protection across industrial, commercial and infrastructure projects worldwide. This book demystifies the science behind intumescent systems — from reaction chemistry and thermal insulation behavior to application techniques and long-term performance — linking laboratory test methods to real-world design decisions.

Inside you’ll find concise explanations of fire-resistance principles, step-by-step application guidance, comparative analysis of coating formulations, and coverage of relevant testing and regulatory frameworks used across regions (including international standards and common national codes). Practical case studies and performance data help translate theory into specification-ready choices for steelwork in urban developments, high-rise buildings, bridges and industrial facilities across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.

Ideal for structural engineers, fire safety consultants and materials scientists, this title equips readers to choose appropriate intumescent solutions, calculate required thicknesses, and assess durability under environmental exposure and maintenance regimes. Clear diagrams and focused technical chapters make complex topics accessible without sacrificing rigor.

For professionals seeking a single, globally relevant reference on passive fire protection of steel, Intumescent Coating and Fire Protection of Steel Structures is an essential addition to your technical library.
