The Fire Safety Event has partnered with ASFP to bring a conference theatre covering passive fire protection topics and various fire safety measures in the built environment. With themed topics on each day, hear from the experts and get the essential advice from specification, installation, inspection and maintenance.
Designing fire stopping which takes into account the movement of a building involves careful consideration of both fire safety requirements and structural dynamics, including the loading of the finished building, dynamic movement, subsidence, snow load, wind load and settlement. Typical types of service movement include extension, compression, and shear, and while these forces are well understood, at present there is no EN or BS mechanism to formally test penetrations that have been subject to movement either prior to or during a fire resistance test.
This session will consider the options are for designers when evaluating the impact of movement on the performance of fire-resistant services penetrations.
UL Solutions has launched the Technical Evaluation Developer Program to improve the content and quality of engineering decisions (engineering judgements). Providers who complete the program demonstrate comprehensive knowledge regarding testing, evaluation and industry requirements for the process of producing technical engineering assessments. This presentation describes how engineering judgements in this area are currently made, and provides an overview of this much needed program. It also explains the stages that manufacturers go through to gain approval for their technical evaluations/engineering judgements and how this scheme offers assurance to key stakeholders such as building control authorities.
With a jam-packed agenda, check out our topical and industry update with our CPD accredited content programme.
With over 175 world-leading industry suppliers exhibiting at the show, discover all your fire safety needs.
