CONT

The thing about that last week of the war, in the mind of a 14-year-old London slum-dweller named Donald Wheal, was not the strange public mood of anxious hope, or the utterly blank canvas that was the future, or the sheer painful impossibility of daily life. It as the odour.

Record 6 2010-02-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fire Prevention
  • Modern Construction Methods
  • Walls and Partitions
DEF

A type of building design in which a building is divided into sections that can be closed off from each other so that there is resistance to fire spread beyond the area of origin; it is most common in highrise buildings and health care facilities.

CONT

Compartmentation requires fire-resistive wall and floor construction, with openings provided with self-closing or automatic fire doors having specific fire-resistive ratings.

CONT

Fire protection via prevention programs does not adequately protect Museums from fires. While the control of fire by restricting the quantity and combustibility of building materials, and the control of fires through compartmentation are essential fire protection methods, fire extinction must play a major role.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prévention des incendies
  • Procédés de construction modernes
  • Murs et cloisons
DEF

Disposition adoptée dans la construction en vue de localiser tout incendie éventuel dès son début.

CONT

La protection contre l'incendie par l'intermédiaire des programmes de prévention ne protège pas adéquatement les musées. Bien que la protection contre l'incendie par la réduction de la quantité et de la combustibilité des matériaux de construction et la neutralisation du feu par le compartimentage sont des méthodes essentielles, l'extinction doit jouer un rôle prépondérant.

CONT

Toutes ces communications doivent être protégées par des dispositifs d'obturation automatique coupe-feu; c'est ainsi que les portes coupe-feu participent au compartimentage d'un bâtiment: elles contribuent à l'isolement de locaux présentant un risque particulier d'incendie, soit par leur contenu, soit par leur affectation. Elles doivent, en conséquence présenter une certaine résistance au feu.
