Structural Fire Protection 2. Compartmentation 3. Opening Protectives 4. Firestopping Systems four (4) main areas of Passive Fire Protection: 1. Structural Fire Protection ✓ Structural fire protection guards essential structural components (such as structural steel and joint systems) from the effects of fire. ✓ This is accomplished with a fireproofing material (spray applied gypsum-based or cementitious products; spray applied thin-film intumescent products; mineral wool wraps and insulation, and fireproofing cladding); or building the structure out of concrete products. four (4) main areas of Passive Fire Protection: 2. Compartmentation ✓ Firewalls; Fire Barriers Fire Partitions; Smoke Barriers; and Smoke Partitions are all included in compartmentation… Reference Standards: ▪ International Building Code (IBC) - Chapter 7 ▪ International Fire Code (IFC) - Chapter 7 ▪ ASTM E119: Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials four (4) main areas of Passive Fire Protection: 2. Compartmentation (Fire-Rated Construction) ✓ Firewalls – are fire-resistance-rated walls having protected openings, which restrict the spread of fire and extend continuously from the foundation to or through the roof with sufficient structural stability under fire conditions to allow collapse of construction on either side without collapse of the wall for the duration of time indicated by the fire- resistance rating of the wall. ✓ Fire Barriers – are vertical or horizontal fire-resistant-rated assemblies designed to restrict the spread of fire in which continuity is maintained. Fire Barriers shall extend from top of floor assembly below to the underside of floor assembly or roof assembly above. Openings in Fire Barriers are to be protected and are limited by code to a maximum aggregate percentage of width per the length of wall and to a maximum area for any single opening. ✓ Fire Partitions – are vertical fire-resistant-rated walls that shall extend continuously from top of floor assembly below to the underside of floor assembly or roof assembly above. Openings in Fire Partitions are to be protected but there is no limitation to number of or size of openings in a Fire Partition. four (4) main areas of Passive Fire Protection: 2. Compartmentation (Smoke-Rated Construction) ✓ Smoke Barriers – are continuous vertical or horizontal membranes that shall extend continuously from top of floor assembly below to the underside of floor assembly or roof assembly above and are designed and constructed to restrict the movement of smoke. Smoke Barriers generally shall have a minimum 1-hour fire-resistance-rating. Openings in Smoke Barriers shall be protected but, are not limited. ✓ Smoke Partitions – are continuous vertical walls that shall extend continuously from top of floor assembly below to the underside of floor assembly or roof assembly above and are designed and constructed to restrict the movement of smoke. Smoke Barriers generally are not required to have a fire-resistance-rating. Openings in Smoke Partitions shall be protected against the passage of smoke but, are not limited. four (4) main areas of Passive Fire Protection: 3. Opening Protectives Fire Door Assemblies; Fire Shutter Assemblies; Fire-Rated Glazing; Fire Window Assemblies; and Dampers (Fire and/or Smoke) are all types of opening protectives in walls, floors and ceilings that protect against the spread of fire and smoke within, into, or out of buildings. Fire-Rated Fire-Rated Fire-Rated Fire-Rated Fire/Smoke Door Assemblies Shutters Glazing Window Assemblies Dampers four (4) main areas of Passive Fire Protection: 4. Firestop Systems ✓ Passive fire protection systems are made up of various components used to seal openings and joints in fire-resistance-rated wall, floor, or ceiling assemblies ✓ If penetrations aren’t properly sealed and protected with an appropriate firestop system, the fire barrier is rendered less effective, and fire will spread beyond the compartment of its origin. four (4) main areas of Passive Fire Protection: 4. Firestop Systems Through Penetration Firestop systems are those that protect penetrations that pass all the way through the barrier, whether it is a wall or a floor. In general, both sides of the penetration are sealed with the proper system. Through Penetration four (4) main areas of Passive Fire Protection: 4. Firestop Systems Membrane Penetration Firestop systems protect penetrations that pass through part of the barrier, but not the entire barrier. Some examples are outlet boxes, sink drains, or conduit that leads from a back-box to the space above the ceiling. Membrane penetrations use the same products and similar details to protect the opening, but there are exceptions that allow them to be unprotected if the opening is small. Another way of saying this is that there are limits to the size and density of Membrane unprotected membrane penetrations within a rated Penetration separation. four (4) main areas of Passive Fire Protection: 4. Firestop Systems Fire Resistive Joint Systems Fire resistive joint systems protect the joints or spaces installed within or between fire rated assemblies. The most common example of a fire resistive joint system is where the wall of a rated space meets the deck of the rated floor above. You will notice that these joints are protected with fire stopping, which tends to be a red colored sealant that spans between the two barriers. Fire Restive Perimeter Joint Barrier four (4) main areas of Passive Fire Protection: 4. Firestop Systems Perimeter Fire Barrier Systems The space between a rated floor slab and the inside face of a curtain wall system is a special case that is called a perimeter barrier. This is an important joint because the wall system requires a wider space than other wall systems and there could be significant movement in the joint, which could allow fire and smoke to pass through easily. The current standard used to test these systems is ASTM E2307: Standard Test Method for Determining Fire Perimeter Resistance of Perimeter Fire Barrier Systems Using Barrier Intermediate-Scale, Multi-story Test Apparatus. Tested Assemblies vs. Engineering Judgments: Tested Assemblies Firestop Systems Tested Assemblies vs. Engineering Judgments: Through Penetration Firestop Systems are usually tested according ASTM E814: Fire Tests of Through Penetration Fire Stops. The firestop system shall have an F-rating equal to or more than

FOREWORD This technical guide was prepared in response to increasing concerns over the requirements for through-penetration firestopping as mandated by codes, specified by system designers, and required by code officials and/or other authorities having jurisdiction. The language in the model codes, the definitions used, and the expectations of local code authorities varies widely among the model codes and has caused confusion in the building construction industry. Contractors are often forced to bear the brunt of inadequate or confusing specifications, misunderstandings of code requirements, and lack of adequate plan review prior to construction. This guide contains descriptions, illustrations, definitions, recommendations on industry practices, designations of responsibility, references to other documents and guidance on plan and specification requirements. It is intended to be a generic educational tool for use by all parties to the construction process. Firestopping Guideline • Second Edition iii FIRE AND SMOKE CONTROL COMMITTEE Phillip E.

  • DASNY Firestopping Design Requirements
    DASNY Firestopping Design Requirements FIRESTOPPING DESIGN REQUIREMENTS A. DESCRIPTION 1. To help prevent the rapid spread of fire through fire-rated construction within a building, certain walls, floors and joints are required to meet a specific fire resistance rating – the period of time during which a building component has been tested to confine a fire or continue to perform a structural function or both. Through and membrane penetrations, perimeter barriers and fire resistive joints created during the construction process require the installation of firestop systems in order to bring the building component back to its original fire rating. 2. Through and membrane penetration firestopping is a specific construction consisting of all materials required to fill the opening around penetrating items such as cables, cable trays, conduits, ducts, pipes, steel beams, bar joists, etc. and their means of support through the building component to prevent spread of fire. 3. Fire Resistive/Construction joint and perimeter barrier firestopping is an integral part of the fire resistive assembly that allows for movement in the construction joints such as floor to wall, perimeter barrier, curtain wall joints, head of wall, etc. B. SPECIFICATIONS 1. The standard Dormitory Authority Firestopping Specification Section 078400 shall be utilized and edited to reflect the specific project requirements. 2. Provide reference from specific trade sections (Mechanical, Plumbing & Electrical) to the above section 078400. C. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS 1. The Design Professional shall review DASNY’s Design Professional’s Submission Requirements located in the Design Professional Guide on the DASNY website: www.dasny.org. 2. The Architectural life safety drawings should indicate fire resistance rating designations for building components.

This is a statement that most people would agree with – especially those who have been unfortunate enough to experience the devastating effects of fire. We can’t completely prevent fires from starting – but what we can do provide innovative To ensure the fire safety of buildings and for Passive Fire Protection to be effective systems that will prevent the spread of fire until it is extinguished or it stops due to lack of it requires: oxygen or fuel. • Correct fire safety design & risk assessment How is this achieved? It is accomplished with Passive Fire Protection (PFP). • High performance certified products • Trained installers Buildings are designed to have ‘sterile’ areas that will contain a fire. These sterile areas are known as ‘fire compartments’. Occupants of buildings in areas away from the fire source are therefore protected from flames, smoke and toxic gases by these compartments.
