| Abstract | This paper discusses the factors that affect the fire resistance performance of lightweight steel-framed (LSF) unrestrained floor assemblies protected with Type X gypsum board ceiling finishes. Sixteen fire resistance experiments were conducted on full-scale load-bearing steel C-joist floor assemblies using the ULC standard fire exposure time–temperature curve that is similar to ASTM E119 standard. Parameters investigated in this study include the effects of insulation installation, insulation type, joist spacing, resilient channel installation, resilient channel spacing, type of sub-floor layer and number of sub-floor layers versus number of gypsum board layers. The impact of these parameters on the fire resistance of steel C-joist frame floor assemblies is discussed. The fire resistance of LSF floors appears to be essentially governed by the number of gypsum board layers, spacing of the joists or resilient channels where the gypsum boards are attached, sub-floor type and insulation type. Other parameters are of secondary importance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
