  1. Concrete masonry provides fire resistance due to the following reasons12:
    • It is non-combustible.
    • It has a Class 0 spread of flame rating.
    • Fire resistance periods of up to 6 hours can be obtained with relatively thin walls, depending on block type, loading, and finish applied.

    Masonry - Fire resistance Concrete masonry (except that containing combustible material) is classed as a non-combustible and has a Class 0 spread of flame rating. Fire resistance periods of up to 6 hours can be obtained with relatively thin walls. The exact time will depend on the block type, loading and finish applied.

    What is the relationship between fire resistance and masonry wall thickness?
    Extensive testing has established a relationship between fire resistance and the equivalent solid thickness of concrete masonry walls, as shown in Table 1. Equivalent thickness is essentially the solid thickness that would be obtained if the volume of concrete contained in a hollow unit were recast without core holes (see Figure 1).
