Standard Supporting and F-Class Structures for Improving the Firestop Recognition System

Abstract

To prevent damage in cases of fire, buildings are constructed to be fireproof, and fire partitions are established. However, fire accidents frequently cause injuries and property damage. Therefore, in this study, a 2 h test was conducted to investigate the stud floor plate as a standard for horizontal support structures, and the possibility of fire spreading due to radiation from non-heated surfaces of ducts penetrating through the fire partition was analyzed. The experimental results revealed that the floor plate exhibited a good fire resistance performance for 2 h and the radiant temperature of the duct penetrating through the fire partition was less than 233 °C, the firing temperature of paper, indicating that there was little possibility of fire diffusion.
