Concrete is a building material that offers a high level of protection and fire safety: it is non-flammable, prevents the spread of fire, does not produce any smoke or toxic gases and does not increase the fire load. By itself, it provides very good fire-retardant properties. However, in the case of some building structures, it is necessary to apply additional passive protection. It is necessary, among others, when there is a need to adapt the building to the requirements of R 240. What types of fire protection for concrete can be used?
