ICC-ES technical staff evaluate a wide range of products, including
fire-resistive assemblies, sandwich panels, classified roof coverings, and wall-covering systems.
NFPA theorizes that high-rises are more likely to have
fire-resistive construction and wet pipe sprinklers to limit flame spread.
Influence of heat-stable filler on the thermal shielding performance of water-based intumescent
fire-resistive coating for structural steel applications--Ravindra G.
* Cover windows, attic openings, eave vents and sub-floor vents with
fire-resistive material such as 1/2-inch or thicker plywood.
In addition, specially designed fire safes with very high
fire-resistive ratings are being installed in locations where fire protection may be marginal.
Abstract The influence of nano-boron nitride (BN) with a multilayered structure on the anti-aging property of
fire-resistive coatings was studied.
Any in-service penetration of a
fire-resistive wall or floor assembly compromises its ability to function as a passive fire barrier.
The low
fire-resistive styrene installation is what is burning fast, so when these facades catch fire, for whatever reason, the flames quickly and completely engulf the entire facade like a roman candle.
This design guide was commissioned by the MBMA to consolidate and present the available information on common fire-resistant construction practices for metal building systems and the twelve existing MBMA sponsored
fire-resistive rated assemblies.
Topics include building heights and areas, types of construction,
fire-resistive construction, interior finishes, accessibility, interior environment, energy efficiency, roofs and walls, and more related topics.
A new
Fire-Resistive Phase Change Material developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tenn., Microtek Laboratories, Dayton, Ohio, and Advanced Fiber Technology, Bucyrus, Ohio, provides a solution to this potential demand.
