INTRODUCTION
FIREIS THE VISIBLE EFFECT OF THE PROCESS
OF COMBUSTION.
IT OCCURS BETWEEN OXYGEN IN THE AIR AND
SOME SORT OF FUEL
THEREACTION WILL KEEP GOING AS LONG AS
THERE IS ENOUGH HEAT, FUEL AND OXYGEN.
THIS IS KNOWN AS THE FIRE TRIANGLE.
Fire can affect a buildings structural capacity in two ways:
1. Prolonged exposure of structural components or subsystems to elevated
temperatures degrades their engineering properties, thus resulting in the
reduction of overall structural capacity.
