Abstract

Details a test method for determining the ability of a vertical protective membrane, to be used as a fire resistant barrier. The membrane contributes to the fire resistance of loadbearing vertical structural building members fabricated from steel, concrete, steel/concrete composites or timber. Applicable to any type of vertical protective membrane, which can be associated with a separate bracing membrane. The vertical protective membrane can be separate from the structural building member and be self-supporting.
