Fire Resistance Ratings of Concrete and Masonry Structures
Fire Resistance of Different Concrete and Masonry Elements The resistance of masonry and concrete members against fire is controlled by the transfer of head through the assembly which is determined by the increase of temperature on the other side of the wall that is not subjected to fire.

In most cases concrete does not require any additional fire-protection because of its built-in resistance to fire. It is a non-combustible material (i.e. it does not burn) and has a slow rate of heat transfer. Concrete ensures that structural integrity remains fire compartmentation is not compromised and shielding from heat can be relied upon.

For reinforced concrete and pre-stressed concrete the position of steel reinforcement also plays a significant role. Larger concrete cover over a member provides better fire resistance to it. Concrete begins to lose its strength beyond temperatures of 250 o C. Also reinforced concrete can sustain temperatures of up to 1000 o C for about an hour.
