Problems associated with fire safety of building and its contents are discussed from point of view of material in building code on this subject; most codes use performance codes as basis for fire-resistance ratings, with minimum requirements stated in terms of exposure hours; heavy masonry has in past been accepted protective material for steel frames; currently, lightweight materials in fire-resistant assemblies are acceptable and economically advantageous; sprayed-on insulation is frequently adequate; low-rise stores and schools with multiple escape routes, do not require insulative protection.
