About this Course
One of the most complex and least understood areas where fire can propagate is at the perimeter of a multi-story building. Not only can fire spread from floor-to-floor via the edge-of-slab/curtain wall intersections but also along the exterior building enclosure where untested, combustible components are often installed. This program outlines fundamentals and best design practices for providing fire protection for building occupants per ASTM E 2307 as well as THE 5 MISCONCEPTIONS of perimeter fire containment.
Learning Objectives:
- 1. Review building code requirements related to perimeter fire containment (a.k.a. perimeter fire barriers).
- 2. Share how common building materials, used in curtain wall construction, behave when exposed to the rigors of fire per ASTM E2307 and ASTM E119 testing.
- 3. Explain the key components of a successfully designed and installed perimeter fire containment assembly.
- 4. Discuss 5 misconceptions of perimeter fire containment.
