Content Description Per NFPA's requirements, when purchasing NFPA 2021 Standards and/or 2020 NFPA 70 (NEC), you must subscribe to at least one more NFPA Standard to complete your purchase. In order to fulfill this requirement, we automatically add 2019 NFPA 900 to your cart. This title may be removed during checkout if you choose to add a different NFPA standard to your cart, and pricing will be recalculated accordingly.
Stay up to date with the 2023 edition of NFPA 557, Standard for Determination of Fire Loads for Use in Structural Fire Protection Design, for the latest criteria for structural fire engineering of buildings.
Having a clear understanding of how to calculate the fire load in a building is a needed element when considering structural performance under thermal exposure. NFPA 557, Standard for Determination of Fire Loads for Use in Structural Fire Protection Design, provides a methodology for deciding the fire load and fire load density to be used as the basis for the evaluation and design of the structural fire performance of a building.
Developed to address the need for guidance and standardization in the area of structural fire engineering, NFPA 557 covers:
Design fundamentals
Development of fire loads
Occupancy-based fire load density
Survey method-based fire load density
Documentation, inspection, and maintenance
The 2023 edition provides relevant provisions that are essential for evaluating the structural fire performance of buildings, offering state-of-the-art information essential to building designers and engineers. Changes to this edition include:
Guidance on fire load calculations for ignition resistant materials when the calorific value is unknown
New language providing test requirements for ignition-resistant materials and fire retardant-treated wood products
Help to safeguard buildings and occupants using the risk frameworks outlined in NFPA 557, Standard for Determination of Fire Loads for Use in Structural Fire Protection Design
