Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that loadbearing walls, columns
and arches exposed to fire will prematurely fail or collapse, which could
lead to the failure or collapse of supported floor or roof assemblies during
the time required to achieve occupant safety and for emergency responders
to perform their duties, which could lead to harm to persons. Intent 2: To limit the probability that floor or roof assemblies exposed
to fire will prematurely fail or collapse during the time required to achieve
occupant safety and for emergency responders to perform their duties, which
could lead to harm to persons. Intent 3: To limit the probability that loadbearing walls, columns
and arches exposed to fire will prematurely fail or collapse, which could
lead to the failure or collapse of supported floor assemblies, which could
lead to the spread of fire from a lower portion of a building to an upper
portion or to the exterior during the time required to achieve occupant safety
and for emergency responders to perform their duties, which could lead to
harm to persons. Intent 4: To limit the probability that floor or roof assemblies exposed
to fire will prematurely fail or collapse, which could lead to the spread
of fire from a lower portion of a building to an upper portion or to the exterior
of the building during the time required to achieve occupant safety and for
emergency responders to perform their duties, which could lead to harm to
persons. Intent 5: To limit the probability that, in the event of a fire, the
absence of fire suppression systems within a space will lead to the growth
of fire, which could lead to the spread of fire within the space during the
time required to achieve occupant safety and for emergency responders to perform
their duties, which could lead to harm to persons. |
