| Résumé | A Joint Task Group (JTG) was established to address a request from the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC) to determine the minimum level of structural performance for floor assemblies in houses. In support of the JTG, this report summarizes the results of the Phase 1 of the Fire Performance of Houses (FPH) Project that was conducted at the NRC and a literature review conducted recently on other related research and North American regulatory developments. The literature review covered more than 50 fire experiments (excluding the 16 tests conducted at NRC for the FPH) that have been conducted with floor assemblies constructed with dimensional lumber joists and five main types of engineered joists: wood I-joists, steel C-joists, metal-plate connected wood truss, finger jointed (glued) wood truss and metal-webbed truss. The tests reviewed were grouped into two main categories: standard and non-standard, defined by the type of fire exposure. Non-standard tests seek to simulate actual compartment fires using combustible fuel loads and the tests are typically conducted on structures that are constructed with representative construction materials. Non-standard tests also included tests that are conducted in fire resistance furnaces without following the CAN/ULC-S101/ASTM E119 temperature-time exposure. Such non-standard tests usually attempt to simulate temperature conditions that are consistent with compartment fires. Although many of the non-standard compartment tests were very well instrumented for temperature, heat flux and gas concentration measurements, only the tests conducted at NRC included a detailed tenability analysis along with a review of evacuation from typical single family houses in the event of a fire. |
