Objective

OS1 Fire Safety

Attribution

[F20,F22-OS1.2]Applies to assemblies required to provide fire resistance.

Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of excessively long spans, which could lead to inadequate strength to support the additional weight of a concrete topping, which could lead to excessive deflection or failure.

Where assemblies are required to provide fire resistance, this is to limit the probability of compromised fire resistance of the assembly, which could lead to harm to persons.
