New Code of Rules for Inspection of Buildings and Structures after a Fire

A draft new Code of Rules “Buildings and Structures. Rules for Inspection after a Fire” was prepared in 2016. The Code of Rules is intended for engineers involved in inspection of building structures of buildings and facilities after fires. The Code of Rules contains the structure and sequence of engineering works on inspection, establishes requirements to methods and criteria of an assessment of a technical condition, performance of verification calculations and the choice of methods of strengthening of the structures damaged by the fire. The Code of Rules also provides background information on changes in the properties of substances from short-term fire effects in case of fire, signs of this or that technical condition of building structures exposed to fire and other thematic information for experts.
