    Compartmentation involves dividing a building into fire-resisting compartments through the use of fire-resisting walls and floors to contain any fire and limit its spread. Effective compartmentation creates fire compartments that are separated areas within a building designed to contain a fire for a set period of time. Compartmentation aims to limit fire and smoke spread by subdividing a building into zones separated by fire-resistant construction.

    Chapter 12: Compartmentation

    • Fire and smoke spread within a building can be limited


    by the provision of effective subdivision, thereby
    creating fire compartments. A fire compartment is an
    area of a building separated from adjacent areas by fire-
    resisting walls and/or floors.
    • Compartmentation is the division of a building into such
    fire-resisting compartments, comprising one or more
    rooms, spaces or storeys, by elements of construction
    designed to contain a fire for a predeterminedduration
