Original Note:
The strength of steel remains relatively unchanged until 600°F. By 1100°F it will lose 50% of its strength. Jet fuel will burn at temps. ranging from 800 to 1,500°F. Meeting the conditions for steel to loose a significant amount of its strength before melting. https://www.aisc.org/steel-solutions-center/engineering-faqs/11.2.-steel-exposed-to-fire/ https://www.steelconstruction.info/Fire_damage_assessment_of_hot_rolled_structural_steelwork#:~:text=All%20materials%20weaken%20with%20increasing,and%2045%25%20of%20its%20stiffness. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/metal-temperature-strength-d_1353.html https://arc-refuellers.be/temperature-jet-fuel-burn/
