| Abstract |
Lightweight curtain-wall systems applying aluminum and glass are usually in use, thereby increasing of high-rise and large buildings. Commonly inorganic insulations are better fire-performance than the organic insulation, but in a lightweight respect, it is disadvantageous than insulation mortars. For this reason, there is a growing interest in materials for a high-fire resistance and a high-lightweight. In this study, fire tests on the basis of EN13830 were performed on the curtain-wall applying newly developed light-weight inorganic panels and the typical curtain-wall with mineral-wool panels. From the test, fire resistance integrity, thermal insulation, and radiation properties were compared for both system. From the test results, the curtain-wall applying the newly developed light-weight inorganic panels showed better fire-performance than the typical curtain-wall for the fire resistance integrity and insulation. |
