Résumé : |
Fire performance characteristics of lining material used in building are of considerable significance from life safety point of view. The Fire Propagation Index can be used to identify the likely fire hazard of lining materials in terms of their tendency to contribute to the growth of fire inside the buildings. A material of higher Fire Propagation Index is considered to contribute more towards the growth of fire. Thus, by comparison of the Fire Propagation Indices of different materials for the interior of a building, it is possible to identify the fire safe materials. Experimental investigations have been made to assess the Fire Propagation Index of untreated and intumescent coated particle board, plywood and fibre board. The salient results obtained during experimental investigation and the suitability of these materials from fire safety point of view are discussed. |
