Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of fire tests conducted on different types of building columns, offering valuable insights for professionals in the construction industry. The author meticulously examines the behavior of columns made of various materials, including steel, cast iron, concrete, and timber, when exposed to intense heat. Through a series of experiments, the book explores the effectiveness of protective coverings, such as plaster on metal lath, concrete, hollow clay tile, and gypsum block, in enhancing the fire resistance of columns. Detailed observations on temperature variations, deformation, and load-carrying capacity provide a wealth of data for understanding the performance of these materials under fire conditions. With its in-depth analysis and practical implications, this book serves as a valuable resource for architects, engineers, and building code officials seeking to improve the fire safety of structures. It highlights the importance of selecting appropriate column materials and protective measures to ensure the integrity of buildings during fire events, ultimately contributing to the safety of occupants and the preservation of property. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
