<p>Preliminary fire experimental tests have been carried out on steel plates protected with intumescent coating.</p><p>The tests evaluated and measured the heating of steel plates with various geometrical configurations: shape, size. A first test on an equal leg angle section showed interesting results with different coating expansion on the faces of the section.</p>The second test campaign is done with different protections to compare behaviors of four steel plates. The first objective is to
