What is the fire endurance of ceramsite concrete blocks?

Answer:

The heat conductivity coefficient of grade 800 hollow building blocks in ceramsite concrete is 0.23 and fire endurance is 4h. Ceramsite concrete has strong construction adaptability. It can not only compound concrete material with different unit weight and strength(It changes with the structure of thermal insulation or bearing structure) according to the different purposes and functions of buildings, but also is easy to construct. It is suitable for industrial production of a variety of construction methods. It can not only make all types of components(board, block, girder, column, etc) by using production process, but also can use mechanization construction of cast-in-place. The strong adaptability of construction of ceramsite concrete is not comparable to any other lightweight building materials(such as air-entrapping, etc.).
The fire endurance of 240mm thick ceramsite concrete blocks is 2.9 hours. It is made by adding pottery into fine aggregate, using cement as binding material, by mechanical mixing, molding machinery and natural protection. Ceramsite building blocks are used as wall material, which can reduce workers' labour intensity. It saves work and material. There is no empty drum during rendering. It is not easy to produce fissure. It has sound insulation, good thermal insulation performance, and is convenient to decorate. Nails, expaned setscrew and no wood anvil can be directly hit into wall. Moreover, It has high firmness.
What is mentioned in fire?safety?rules is that the fire endurance of 240mm thick hollow brick of ceramsite concrete is 2.9h, so 190mm thick hollow brick is 3h. B05 thickness(mm), fire endurance(h). Combustion performance 100 4.0. Non-combustible component 150 6.0200 8.0300 〉8.0B06 100 〉4.0150 〉6.0200 〉8.0300〉8.0: The fire endurance performance of building blocks wall in the table is taken from the Tianjin Construction Standard "light steam pressing aerated?concrete?block" DB / T29-128.
