What is the fire?

Fire cutting is a cut made at the top of the beam used with a masonry wall, such as a brick or a stone wall. This cut is designed to function as a safety feature that will reduce the risk of collapsed if there is a fire that burns over the beam. If the wall collapses, the nature of the fire will encourage it to collapse in, which will protect people who can be outside, such as firefighters and rescuers. Fire sections are one of the many safety elements built into the structure of structures to reduce the risk of loss of life in fire. They can hold floors or rafters, depending on where they are in the building, and are usually large and somewhat redundant, so if one beam fails, the support beam network can still work. As the beams fail in fire, they add stress to existing beams and beams that are burned through them can add considerable horizontal pressure to the walls to which they are attached.

The fire consists of a diagonal notch. The notch is not deep enough to endanger the integrity of the beam, but if the joint burns, it allows the beam to drop down rather than mix the high level of horizontal pressure on the wall. Although it may seem to be a bad idea to tilt the beam from the wall, the fire is actually beneficial because it releases the horizontal pressure that causes the walls to collapse during the fire.

The structure of the fire cut is also designed to stimulate the walls to collapse in if they have to collapse. Kralaps can happen when the building destabilizes intense, widespread or hot fire and pose a risk to people who work outside. If the wall -enabled walls may fire residues that can damage emergency respondents, and the materials that can be ignited can also be distributed around the collapse and threatening neighboring structures.

fire cuts must be carefully nAvized and placed to ensure that they are of the right size. An experienced Mason, supplier or engineer can confirm that the cut is at the correct depth and position.
