Abstract
Buildings, or portions of buildings, look a sorry sight after a fire: some may have collapsed and be only twisted ruins, others may have mainly suffered damage from smoke. Between these extremes there is a wide range of degree of damage. This paper provides some guidance and references on the effects of fire on building materials and structural components so that decisions as to repairability are not based wholly on superficial appearances.
