    ABSTRACT: Steel structural systems in modular construction must be protected against corrosion and fire exposure. The durability of both protective properties plays a key role in ensuring long-term service life and minimizing maintenance costs. The present work aims to validate anticorrosive protection systems for steel structures, with and without fire protection properties, evaluating degradation mechanisms and assessing the compatibility of intumescent layers with anticor-rosive coatings, in terms of their impact on corrosion resistance and fire protec-tion properties.
