Fire Stops

The National Electrical Code requires that riser cables have sufficient fire resistance so they will not spread fire from floor to floor in a shaft. Fire tests were conducted as the initial task in developing a test method for determining compliance with the Code. The tests provided data on the flame propagation characteristics of riser cables in a simulated riser shaft. The shaft design was based on information from a field survey. The data indicated that with a large ig nition source, simulating burning combustibles in a shaft without fire stops, some cables propagated fire from floor to floor; others utilizing newer fire resistive materials, did not exhibit the same propensity to promulgate fire.

Resistance Performance

Structural steel has been used since the early 1970’s in Korea as primary structural members such as columns, beams, and trusses. The materials have much higher strength such as fast construction, high load bearing capacity, high construction quality but those have a fatal weakness as well. Load-bearing capacity is going down when the structural members are contained in fire condition. Therefore, to protect the structural members made of steels from the heat energy the fire resistance performance required. Generally, the fire resistance performance have evaluated from the exact fire tests in fire furnaces. But the evaluation method takes much more time and higher expenses so, the engineering method requires. The engineering method not only adopts a science but also an engineering experience. In this paper, to make various data-bases for evaluation of structural members such as columns(H-section, RHS), beams, loaded fire tests were conducted and derived not only each limiting temperature but also fire resistance respectively.

Problems of this research are the difficulty of collage students to understand technique demography study material and the unavailability of appropriate teaching material. This research is aimed to increase college student understanding toward technique demography study material and study achievement. Developing material of teaching was done by: (1) Product analyzed by reducing and increasing study material; (2) Wrote material of teaching; (3) Expert validation and revised, by material of teaching expert, instructional developing, study evaluation, demography and environmental expert; (4) Small group test and revised, toward 10 collage student of geography field study; and (5) Large scale of field survey test and final product, on odd semester 2006/2007, toward 30 collage student of geography field study, FKIP, Lampung University.Pre test and post test was done in every study. The using of teaching study and doing exercise question or task in the last meeting are used in this research. The result are: (1) The increasing of college student understanding toward technique demography study material, average score in post  test higher (57,76) than average score in pre test (30,42); (2) There is a significant relationship between understanding level with collage student study achievement, r-count (0,396) higher than r-table (0,361) in significant level 5% and N = 30.
