5 The Overall Fire Picture Result of fire in 2010 (cont.): Firefighter deaths 72 Direct property loss - $11.6 billion Source: US Fire Administration

6 Why is America Burning? when we have the best firefighters and equipment? when we have the best designers and researchers? when we have the most regard for human life?

7 Why is America Burning? It s in the choices we make.

9 Components of Balanced Design 1Automatic Detection Systems (Alarms) 2Automatic Suppression Systems (Sprinkler Systems) 3 Compartmentation using noncombustible materials (Concrete Masonry)

10 Fire Safety Function of Balanced Fire Design Concept Function Automatic Detection Automatic Suppression Compartmentation Limits the extent of contents damage Limits the extent of structural damage Low installation costs Low maintenance costs Limits repair time due to fire damage Considered to be effective Considered to be partially effective Considered to be ineffective or only slightly effective

11 Fire Safety Function of Balanced Fire Design Concept (cont.) Function Automatic Detection Automatic Suppression Compartmentation Controls fire/limits fie growth Provides smoke, toxic fume barrier Provides fire barrier Limits generation of smoke/toxic fume Allows safe egress Provides refuge Assists fire fighting efforts Reduces fire and rescue response time Difficult to vandalize/arson Performance requires little maintenance

12 Reliability Through Redundancy 1. Automatic Detection 2. Automatic Suppression 3. Compartmentation Active Systems Passive System Consider the reliability of protection from individual components vs. Redundancy provided by the complementing features of all three when combined.

13 Purpose of Fire-Resistive Assemblies Provide safe egress of building occupants Safety for fire fighters Provide protection for the building Provide protection to adjacent structures and property

14 Types of Fire Assemblies Fire Partition - vertical assembly designed to restrict spread of fire*. Fire Barrier - fire-resistance-rated vertical or horizontal assembly designed to restrict spread of fire*. Fire Wall - fire-resistance-rated extending continuously from the foundation through the roof with sufficient structural stability under fire to prevent collapse*. *Note: Requires openings to be protected.

23 Fire Tests of Building Assemblies Governed by ASTM E119 Structural acceptance criteria Fire barrier acceptance criteria Control of fire tests Conduct of fire tests Provides a specific standard fire exposure against which assemblies can be evaluated

24 Building Assembly s Resistance to Heat Transfer Time - Temperature Curve - ASTM E temperature (deg F) time (hr)

25 ASTM E119 Conditions of Acceptance FOR WALLS AND PARTITIONS Resistance to heat transfer Temperature rise less than 250 degrees on the unexposed side of the wall No flame or gases passing through Cotton swab observation Carry structural load Structural resistance to hose stream Stream cannot penetrate wall

26 ASTM E119 End Point Criteria FOR WALLS AND PARTITIONS Temperature on unexposed side of wall rises more than 250 degrees Flame or gases pass through wall Cotton swab ignites Wall collapses under load Hose stream penetrates wall

27 ASTM E119 Fire Testing a Masonry Wall

28 ASTM E119 Hose Stream Test The wall specimen is subjected to impact, erosion, and cooling effects of hose stream Not required for ratings less than 1 hour Duplicate specimen allowed Heated to 1/2 fire rating period Need not exceed 1 hour Optional - full fire endurance test specimen Apply water from hose in sweeping motion for 2-1/2 minutes

29 By virtue of the duplicate test specimen provisions - both are 2-hour rated walls

30 Concrete Masonry Fire Ratings ASTM E119 Three methods for determining ratings: 1. Fire Testing 2. Listing Service 3. Calculation Method

34 Concrete Masonry Fire Ratings Fire Test Data - Calcareous and Siliceous Aggregate Equivalent thickness (in) Fire Resistance (minutes)

35 Equivalent Thickness Equivalent Thickness, T e, is the solid thickness that would be obtained from the same volume of concrete without cores. T e = % solid x actual thickness

36 UL 618 restricted to: width > 7-5/8 inches height < 8 inches length < 18 inches Aggregates - ESCS, pumice, coal cinders, natural Specifies aggregate type, cement-aggregate ratio, face shell and web thickness and equivalent thickness Not referenced by building codes

41 ACI/TMS Referenced by the current International Building Code Almost identical provisions in Section 721 of the International Building Code Summarized in NCMA TEK 7-1C

42 Code Calculated Fire Resistance Ratings Fire ratings for concrete masonry walls are a function of: Aggregate type Equivalent thickness

43 Fire Resistance Rating of Concrete Masonry Assemblies Aggregate Type Calcareous or Siliceous Gravel (other than limestone) Limestone, cinders, or air-cooled slag Expanded clay, expanded shale or expanded slate Minimum Required Equivalent Thickness for Fire Resistance Rating, in. A,B 1 hr 1 ½ hr 2 hr 3 hr 4 hr Expanded slag or pumice A Fire resistance ratings between the hourly fire resistance rating periods listed shall be determined by linear interpolation based on the equivalent thickness value of the concrete masonry assembly. B Minimum required equivalent thickness corresponding to the fire resistance rating for units made with a combination of aggregates shall be determined by linear interpolation based on the percent of volume of each aggregate used in the manufacture. 45

44 Table 3.1 Fire Resistance Rating of Concrete Masonry Assemblies Aggregate Type Calcareous or Siliceous Gravel (other than limestone) Limestone, cinders, or air-cooled slag Expanded clay, expanded shale or expanded slate Minimum Required Equivalent Thickness for Fire Resistance Rating, in. A,B 1 hr 1 ½ hr 2 hr 3 hr 4 hr Expanded slag or pumice

45 Blended Aggregate Example The required equivalent thickness of an assembly constructed of units made with expanded shale (80% by volume), and calcareous sand (20% by volume) to meet a 3 hour fire resistance rating is: T 1 for expanded shale (3 hr rating) = 4.4 in. (112 mm) T 2 for calcareous sand (3 hr rating) = 5.3 in. (135 mm) T r = (4.4 x 0.80) + (5.3 x 0.20) = 4.58 in. (116 mm)

46 Increasing Fire Resistance Ratings Use more lightweight aggregates in production of CMU Increase actual thickness of CMU Increase equivalent thickness of CMU Fill the cores of the hollow CMU (sand, grout, listed fills) Use multi-wythe masonry and/or veneer Apply wall finishes or coverings

47 Filling Cores Equivalent thickness is considered to be the actual thickness of the concrete masonry unit. Thus all 8-inch and many 6-inch CMU have 4 hour ratings when filled with an approved fill material.

48 Core Fill - Listed Materials Grout Sand, pea gravel, crushed stone or slag Pumice, scoria, expanded shale, expanded slate, expanded clay, expanded slag, expanded fly ash Cinders per ASTM C331 or C332, Perlite or vermiculite.
