CONT

Construction et assurance [...] Suivant les dispositions du tarif des risques industriels, les bâtiments sont classés comme suit: construction ordinaire; construction incombustible ordinaire; construction incombustible de sécurité. Le vocable «incombustible» est pris au sens de limitation, au minimum des conséquences d'un feu.

OBS

Les Américains ont trouvé l'expression «fire resistive building», pour désigner un bâtiment construit entièrement en dur, c'est-à-dire en béton, en pierre et béton, ou en pierre, brique et béton. [...] Pour la traduire, on fera bien de dire: bâtiment de construction incombustible, ou encore bâtiment de construction ininflammable.
