BLAST AND IMPACT EXPOSURE OF EXISTING STRUCTURAL FIRE PROTECTION SCHEMES.

Abstract

A study was made of existing structural fire protection schemes with respect to their ability to withstand blast and impact from blast produced missiles. The study is divided into three parts. The first deals with an evaluation of the state of the art of fire prevention and the accepted concepts of rating communities and structures for potential fire damage. A method arranging structural fire protection schemes into categories, according to the general blast and impact exposure characteristics, is presented together with a suggested tabular form. Next is a review of recent research in the fire resistance of materials and assemblies considering the effects of blast and impact exposure. The third part recommends what might be done to advance our present knowledge on the subject. (Author)
