In the event of a fire, it is often thought that steel fails because it melts. In reality, steel loses its strength before it melts. When the temperature during a fire rises to approximately 1,000\u00b0C, most of the original load-bearing capacity has been lost. The structure fails well before the melting point of steel is reached. Without fire-resistant measures, a steel structure can therefore become unstable or even collapse within a short period of time. <\/p>\n
