Chapter 23, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Mention the major types of interior walls and partitions that are utilized in different types of larger buildings, and write the differences between each of these types.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The major types of interior walls and partitions that are utilized in different types of larger buildings are as follows:
- Fire walls.
- Shaft walls.
- Fire barriers and fire partitions.
- Smoke barriers and smoke partitions.
- Other nonbearing partitions.
The differences between each of these types are given below:
Types of interior walls and partitions | Fire walls | Shaft walls | Fire barriers and fire partitions | Smoke barriers and smoke partitions | Other nonbearing portions |
Differences | They require separation to avoid the fire spread. Walls are fire resistance. | They provide strength to withstand lateral loads and also in fire protection. | Fire barriers consist of horizontal and vertical assembly, which are designed to restrict the spread of fire. They offer more protection than fire partitions. | Smoke barriers provide space to the occupants who may take refuge in case of fire by moving to the side of the barrier that is away from the fire. | In this type, the partition does not carry any structural load. |
A single structure can be converted into separate portion using a fire wall. | They are utilized to enclose the opening that extends through multiple floors. | The tenant space of a mall building is separated by using a fire partition. It is utilized to enclose the corridors. | Smoke partitions are usually constructed without fire resistance. They are utilized in corridor and in elevator lobbies. | They can be made of any materials that meet the combustibility provisions. |

A steel, possessing an eutectoid composition, undergoes a gradual cooling process from 800°C to
600°C. Outline the transformation, equilibrium microstructure, and provide approximate component
proportions.
Describe the resultant non-equilibrium microstructure in two scenarios:
a) the steel is rapidly cooled from 800°C to 600°C within 1 s, and then held at such temperature;
b) the steel is rapidly cooled from 800°C to 600°C within 1 s, maintained at this temperature for
5 s, and subsequently quenched to room temperature.
