30-minute residential fire protection of floors
A fire protective barrier for a residential floor (10) and a method of its construction, the construction involving a floor (10) supported on lightweight joists (11) of a type susceptible to early failure once exposed to a fire existing in the space below the floor, an array of elongated steel main tees (21) suspended below the joists, the tees being parallel and spaced apart by a nominal distance of 21, the tees having an upper hollow reinforcing bulb, a central vertical web extending downwardly from the bulb and a horizontal flange extending laterally from both sides of the web, drywall panels (22) carried on upper faces of the flanges of adjacent pairs of tees, the drywall panels having a width of slightly less than the center - to - center distance of the tees, a majority of the panels having lengths of 8 ' or more.
