Heat Resistance Tolerance of Non-Combustible Materials Construction in Fire Environment

This study explains the heat resistance tolerance of non-combustible materials and their structural components toward the fire. Fire statistical data was collected, tabulated, and analyzed through graphs. The graph lines indicate the increasing number of fire accidents every year. These increasing numbers should be viewed as a serious problem in the society. Two buildings were taken for the case study which were subjected to heavy fire and experienced a large number of human lives loss. During the case study, many design factors and fire safety factors were applied and studied. It was found that the firing of combustible materials fell upon the people and a large number of lives were lost in both buildings. Solutions are given by the application of non-combustible materials constructions and structural systems in buildings. This application will minimize the number of fire accidents and it will safeguard human lives and protect the property. Therefore, the noncombustible materials and their structural systems properties, their thermal behavior, integrative resistance capability towards the fire and its products, and temperature time simulation study details are given. After the study of the material, this insight concluded with the mandatory application of non-combustible materials construction in buildings with codal application in design. So that, the buildings will counteract with fire and the fire and life safety objectives will be achieved automatically. Based on the fire and life safety research findings, the codal recommendations, and peer group discussions, few recommendations have been given. The recommendations are compartmentation floor planning, construction specification, structural specifications, and door window construction materials recommendations.
