BRANZ research investigating the impact of the Canterbury earthquakes on passive fire protection (PFP) has found awareness about the seismic performance of these important systems needs to be raised.
Major earthquakes are often followed by fires. BRANZ Recently put some plasterboard lined partitions though a simulated earthquake, then fire resistance testing to investigate their post-earthquake fire performance.
An investigation into the performance of fire protection systems in the Christchurch earthquakes produced recommendations for change.
