722.2.1.1 Cast-In-Place or Precast Walls

Building Code 2018 of Illinois > 7 Fire and Smoke Protection Features > 722 Calculated Fire Resistance > 722.2 Concrete Assemblies > 722.2.1 Concrete Walls > 722.2.1.1 Cast-In-Place or Precast Walls
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The minimum equivalent thicknesses of cast-in-place or precast concrete walls for fire-resistance ratings of 1 hour to 4 hours are shown in Table 722.2.1.1. For solid walls with flat vertical surfaces, the equivalent thickness is the same as the actual thickness. The values in Table 722.2.1.1 apply to plain, reinforced or prestressed concrete walls.

For SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm.

722.2.1.1.1 Hollow-Core Precast Wall Panels

For hollow-core precast concrete wall panels in which the cores are of constant cross section throughout the length, calculation of the equivalent thickness by dividing the net cross-sectional area (the gross cross section minus the area of the cores) of the panel by its width shall be permitted

722.2.1.1.2 Core Spaces Filled

Where all of the core spaces of hollow-core wall panels are filled with loose-fill material, such as expanded shale, clay or slag, or vermiculite or perlite, the fire-resistance rating of the wall is the same as that of a solid wall of the same concrete type and of the same overall thickness.

722.2.1.1.3 Tapered Cross Sections

The thickness of panels with tapered cross sections shall be that determined at a distance 2t or 6 inches (152 mm), whichever is less, from the point of minimum thickness, where t is the minimum thickness.

722.2.1.1.4 Ribbed or Undulating Surfaces

The equivalent thickness of panels with ribbed or undulating surfaces shall be determined by one of the following expressions:
For s ≥ 4t, the thickness to be used shall be t
For s ≤ 2t, the thickness to be used shall be te
For 4t > s > 2t, the thickness to be used shall be
(Equation 7-3)
where:
s = Spacing of ribs or undulations.
t = Minimum thickness.
te = Equivalent thickness of the panel calculated as the net cross-sectional area of the panel divided by the width, in which the maximum thickness used in the calculation shall not exceed 2t.
