Fire Rating and Performance Based Design of Concrete Masonry Walls
Fire ratings of wall assemblies can be determined by three different methods. The first and most used is by testing the actual assembly at a fire testing laboratory using ASTM E-119 standards. The second is where empirical calculations are used to determine the assembly's fire rating and lastly is performance based where the assembly is tested under actual conditions. This paper focus on approved performance based design and relation to ASTM E-119 test. Methods to improve the fire resistance of masonry walls are also discussed.
