Maskell, D.V. and Baldwin, R., 1972. A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FIRE RESISTANCE OF COLUMNS AND THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION. Fire Research Notes 934
ABSTRACT
The "deemed to satisfy" provision of the building regulations have been priced in order to investigate the relationship between the cost of protecting a column and the degree of protection (fire resistance). A straight line relationship is found, accurate to within 5% for steel columns and to within 10% for concrete columns. This formula will be used in subsequent cost - benefit analyses.
