Abstract

Most construction types are adversely affected by fire, if it occurs. If the construction is combustible, then the structure may burn down. But even if it is not combustible, a serious fire, especially a post-flashover fire, may result in major damage or even collapse. This is because few materials are available which can stand prolonged application of high temperatures without degradation or failure.

Fußnoten
1
There are other countries which use 20 or 30 min fire resistance ratings. It is understood that the purpose of such ratings is to allow for a minimum time period during which occupants can make a safe escape and fire services can complete their search. Such short ratings do not indicate that fires are expected to be only 20 or 30 min in duration.
 
2
No fire tests have been used or reported for durations over 4 h in the modern era, although some very long fire tests were being conducted in the 1890s and early 1900s.
 
3
It might be thought that this is not necessarily true, if the response of the test specimen to fire is highly non-linear, in that destruction is disproportionately higher at temperatures which exceed the ASTM E119 curve. However, in practice, no such materials have been identified.
