Add to ORKGThis paper identifies relevant fire safety objectives, describes fire compartmentation in practical terms, and outlines acceptable means of evaluating performance. It explains the compartmentation concept within the context of the National Building Code's approach to the provision of life safety and gives some examples of the procedure a designer should follow in developiong alternative solutions to specific compartmentation requirements.Aussi disponible en francais: Compartimentation et r\ue9 sistance au feuPeer reviewed: NoNRC publication: Ye
