ACI 216.1 – Code Requirements for Determining Fire Resistance of Concrete and Masonry Construction Assemblies

This standard describes acceptable methods for determiningthe fire resistance of concrete and masonry buildingassemblies and structural elements, including walls, floorand roof slabs, beams, columns, lintels, and masonry fireprotection for structural steel columns. These methodsshall be used for design and analysis purposes and shall bebased on the fire exposure and applicable end-point criteriaof ASTM E119. This standard does not apply to compositemetal deck floor or roof assemblies.

The primary intended use of this standard is for determiningthe design requirements for concrete and masonryelements to resist fire and provide fire protection. Tolerancecompliance to the provisions for concrete shall be based oninformation provided in ACI 117. Masonry constructionshall comply with TMS 402/ACI 530.1/ASCE 6
