Guideline on Fire Ratings of Archaic Materials and Assemblies by U U S Dept of Housing and Urban Developme, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Older buildings often contain materials that are fire safe but not listed in current fire ratings sources. This lack of documentation hinders the modernization and reuse of our nation's building stock. The Guideline on Fire Ratings of Archaic Materials and Assemblies is a compilation of fire ratings from earlier sources for a wide variety of materials and assemblies found in buildings from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. This guideline also provides methods for calculating the fire resistance of general classes of archaic materials and assemblies for which no documentation can be found. | Guideline on Fire Ratings of Archaic Materials and Assemblies by U U S Dept of Housing and Urban Developme, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
