Description

Stay up to date with the 2023 edition of NFPA 557, Standard for Determination of Fire Loads for Use in Structural Fire Protection Design, for the latest criteria for structural fire engineering of buildings. Having a clear understanding of how to calculate the fire load in a building is a needed element when considering structural performance under thermal exposure. NFPA 557, Standard for Determination of Fire Loads for Use in Structural Fire Protection Design, provides a methodology for deciding the fire load and fire load density to be used as the basis for the evaluation and design of the structural fire performance of a building. Developed to address the need for guidance and standardization in the area of structural fire engineering, NFPA 557 covers: Design fundamentals Development of fire loads Occupancy-based fire load density Survey method-based fire load density Documentation, inspection, and maintenance The 2023 edition provides relevant provisions that are essential for evaluating the structural fire performance of buildings, offering state-of-the-art information essential to building designers and engineers. Changes to this edition include: Guidance on fire load calculations for ignition resistant materials when the calorific value is unknown New language providing test requirements for ignition-resistant materials and fire retardant-treated wood products Help to safeguard buildings and occupants using the risk frameworks outlined in NFPA 557, Standard for Determination of Fire Loads for Use in Structural Fire Protection Design
