We are working on a temple project that will be constructed using solid natural stones (Sandstone and Marble). All structural members of the temple will also be made of stones to be cut and taken directly from the mountains. Ferrous materials will not be permitted in the construction of the Temple.
The AHJ is requiring us to present theoretically the default fire ratings of these natural stones to be used with particular thicknesses. What resources exist to help calculate/determine the fire ratings of these solid natural stones? Posted anonymously for discussion. Discuss This | Submit Your Question | Subscribe

Hopefully you find better outcomes that what I found (Page 59 for SandStone) but better results for Marble (Page 72)

A few years back the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) published a document on the use of archaic materials (unlisted, typically older materials). I can send you a copy if you like.

Natural stone definitely has inherent fire resistance and as per the list given in the 2nd reply. Leave a Reply. |
