This lecture covers the principles of fire safety in construction, including constructive concepts to prevent fires and limit their spread, as well as extinguishing concepts like using sprinklers. It discusses methods such as external structures, water circulation in tubes, and mixed structures to enhance fire resistance. The importance of intumescent paint, nomograms for fire resistance calculations, and the impact of galvanized plates on fire protection are also explored.
