Why do you think that they spray fire retardant on steel, if the steel cannot be compromised by fire??? Because its fun to do???"[/i] Do you have enough question marks at the end of your last sentence??? I think they use fire retardant on steel, not out of fear that without it a building might collapse from an intense fire, but because it greatly reduces the risk of structural steel damage. The cost of repairing a floor with intact steel compared to one where the steel has been distorted by lack of fire protection would be astronomical. MM You are basically saying that fire cannot weaken steel? You think that no matter how long it burns are how high the temperature is, a fire will never cause a steel beam to loose its ability to do what it was put there to do? They sell physics books for people like you.
