Fire resistive definition
Fire resistive means that property of materials or assemblies which prevents or retards the passage of excessive heat, hot gases or flames under condition of use. The term “fire resistive” shall mean the same as “fire resistance.”
Fire resistive means that type of construction in which the structure members, including walls, partitions, columns, floors and roof construction are of noncombustible materials with a fire resistant rating of not less than those specified in Chapter 7 of the International Building Code.
Fire resistive means the ability of materials or assemblies of construction to withstand exposure under standard fire test conditions for a prescribed temperature and period of time without structural failure. Fire resistive construction is that type of construction in which the walls, partitions, and structural members are of noncombustible materials which will withstand exposure to fire for a specified period of time without structural failure.
