ENGR403 FIRE ENGINEERING EXAM SCRIPT
2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS 100%
CORRECT
◉Structural Fire Safety Goals . Answer - Contain fire
- Limit fire and smoke spread
- Prevent structural collapse
◉Fire resistance criteria + what each criteria prevents . Answer -
Stability (R) --> Stops structural collapse
- Integrity (E) --> Stops fire and smoke spread
- Insulation (I) --> Stops fire and smoke spread
◉Fire resistance rating (FRR) definition . Answer Minimum fire
resistance required of primary and secondary elements as determined in
the standard test for fire resistance
◉Life rating definition . Answer FRR to be applied to elements of
construction that allows movement of people from their location in a
building to a safe place
, ◉Property rating definition . Answer FRR to be applied to elements of
construction that allows for protection of other property
◉Fire resistance definition . Answer The ability of a structure to resist
collapse
◉Fire severity definition . Answer The destructive impact of fire
◉Structural fire design - design domains . Answer - Time
- Temperature
- Strength
◉True or false: Real fires tend to attain higher temperatures earlier than
the standard fire . Answer True
◉In what circumstances is thermal expansion important in steel and
concrete? . Answer Frames and Complex structures
◉At what temperature range does thermal expansion stop in steel .
Answer 700-800 degrees celcius
◉What is the reduction in yield strength and elastic modulus steel
experiences at 600 degrees celcius? . Answer yield strength reduction =
50%
