Baked Slug: New Method to Test Fireproofing Material

Thursday, October 2, 2008 - 11:28 in Physics & Chemistry

In a high-temperature blaze, how well does a fireproofing material shield a building`s important steel structures from heat? Answering this question has been surprisingly difficult, but it is important information for builders selecting high-performance fire-resistive materials and for scientists conducting computer simulations that investigate fires.
