23 MRTFC and Performance Requirements MRTFC commonly deals with: Class 1 buildings (houses or dwellings attached side by side) Class 2 buildings (flats and units above one another as well as side by side) Class 3 buildings (residential parts of hotels, motels, accommodation for students, aged and disabled) Class 9c buildings (buildings for the aged) Performance criteria in these classes focuses on: Fire resistance Sound resistance This presentation focuses on Fire Resistance
24 SOU Concept In Class 2 and 3 residential buildings there is extensive use of Sole occupancy units (SOUs). This separates buildings into manageable units and provides protection to other property : A SOU is a part of a building that is occupied by one owner, lessee or other occupant SOUs must be designed to restrict fire and sound from affecting adjoining SOUs
25 Type of Construction The extent of fire resistant construction required by the BCA depends on the Type of Construction: Type A provides the highest level of passive protection e.g. structural elements must withstand burnout of the building contents Type B provides lower passive protection e.g. less of the structure must be able to withstand burnout of the contents Type C provides the lowest passive fire resistance e.g. only some elements have specified fire resistance intended to mainly restrict horizontal spread of fire to adjoining dwellings
26 Measuring Fire Resistance Levels The BCA requires protection to be provided at the boundaries between compartments or SOUs The walls, floors and ceilings bounding compartments are constructed to meet Fire Resistance Levels (FRLs) to prevent spread of fire FRLs are expressed in minutes as follows: FRL: 60 / 60 / 60 structure integrity insulation Columns have a FRL of 60/-/- or 120/-/- etc as they are not barriers Partition walls are the exact opposite: barriers but non-loadbearing so typically have a FRL of -/30/30 or -/60/60
27 General Framing Requirements MRTFC details focus on meeting the combined requirements of fire, sound and structural performance for designated wall, floor and ceiling elements in Class 1, 2 and 3 buildings A systems approach is used to meet needs which can be broken up into: Wall framing systems Floor/ceiling framing systems Each system uses a number of common concepts to maintain continuity at intersections between elements and at penetrations, including: Fire resistant joints Cavity barriers Fire stops
28 Double Stud Walls in More Detail The system features two stud walls with a separating cavity Load Bearing frames are typically made from 90x45 timber framing The frames can be prefabricated as required The system is easy to handle and erect on-site Insulation is used extensively between studs or in the cavity It must be noncombustible (BCA Requirement) Fire grade plasterboard is built up in layers to meet fire requirements Fibre cement sheet can be used in combination with plasterboard Other cladding or linings can be used over these components
29 Treatment of Roof and Eave Cavities Depending on the type of construction, fire rated walls may need to continue through the roof and eaves cavities. In these areas: walls must extend at least to the underside of the roof walls may be single skin (not double) because sound resistance isn t required in the roof or eaves areas
30 Floor/Ceiling Systems Floor/ceiling systems are required between sole occupancy units (SOUs) These systems consist of floor coverings, platform flooring, floor joists, sound insulation, resiliently mounted ceiling battens and ceiling linings
31 Summary of Floor/Ceiling System Components Timber joists dictate the load and spanning capacity of the floor Non-combustible sound insulation is placed within the joist depth Resiliently mounted ceiling battens are fixed transversely to the joists to isolate sound from the structure above Plasterboard is fixed to the sound resilient supports. A build up of layers is used to achieve sound and fire requirements (fire grade board required)
32 Continuity of Systems Care must be taken to ensure weak spots don t occur at the interfaces between systems (e.g. intersections and penetrations) Methods of doing this include: Fire resistant joints Cavity barriers Fire stops at gaps and penetrations (caulking)
33 Fire Resistant Floor Junctions Fire resistant joints are used at intersections between floor/ceiling elements e.g. where one element has a lower FRL than the other Some structural framing remains protected by the plasterboard and by the slow charring of the other framing at the junction.
34 Fire Resistant Floor Junctions Needed at intersections between wall/wall elements such as when one element has a lower FRL than the other The joint is made by adding extra pieces of timber to the joint between the elements The extra timber adds fire resistance because when it burns it forms an insulative char layer on the surface this slows burning in the core of the timber and in doing so provides fire resistance for a period of time In general, the more pieces of timber added to the joint, the longer the joint will last. In some cases light gauge steel angles are also used to slow char at corners
35 Cavity Barriers Cavity barriers restrict the passage of flame, smoke and gasses in cavities that bypass wall/floor/ceiling intersections Typical example: intersection between a wall separating SOUs and a non-fire rated external brick veneer wall Cavity barriers can be made by: timber battens appropriate sheet linings moisture repellent mineral wool Light gauge steel profiles Cavity barrier using sheet lining Example prior to brick veneer being laid
36 Fire Rated Shafts Use fire shafts as a means of avoiding services in fire/sound rated walls

41 Connections Connections usually limit the capacity of a timber element AS Fire Resistance and Structural Adequacy of timber members also provides guidance for the design of connections
42 Connections and AS Unprotected metal fasteners may limit FRLs of unprotected timber Protection of fixings is required and can be via: o surface protection or o embedment of fixings under plugs Other protection measures need test data to support their use

47 Interpretation of AS design rules Narrow section timber directly exposed to fire has a low FRL in accordance with AS Large member sections can have significant FRLs however the connections are sometimes not protected or embedded to the same degree, hence limit the FRL to potentially a relatively low values. Protection may be needed for these connections.
48 Alternative Method Protect the timber with plasterboard
49 Conclusions Timber can be effectively used in buildings that are exposed to fire The key to the correct use of timber is the detailing in accordance with relevant Australian standards and industry manuals (e.g. Technical Guides)
