The best fire resistive building is a
Concrete building
What is the weak link in the construction of fire resistive high rise buildings
Floors
There is a direct relation between fire resistance and
The mass of the structure. The more mass the more fire resistance
Unprotected steel warps, sags, bends and collapses when heated to normal fire temperatures of about
1100-1200 degrees
According to Dunn the effectiveness of SFRM is dependent on
CAT
Consistency
Adhesion
Thickness
What is a Dwarf partition wall
These walls extend to the underside of the ceiling. No fire stop
