Knowledge Check
1.
Fire wall ratings depend on:
locally adopted model codes.
maximum occupant count allowed in the structure.
occupancies being separated and the reason for the separation.
combined ratings of the construction materials used in the structure.
2.
Which of the following is a functional role of a ceiling?
Provide safety in multi-level buildings
Act as part of a fire-resistive assembly
Act as a part of reduced privacy features
Provide an attractive interior finish to a structure
3.
A(An) is the oldest and simplest detection device that can activate a fire door.
fusible link
smoke detector
electromagnetic holder
magnetic hold-open device
4.
Which type of fire door closure is intended for use with a sliding fire door?
Fusible links
Spring hinge closers
Door operating devices
Electromagnetic door holders
5.
What type of shingle produces characteristically black smoke?
Asphalt shingles
Clay roof coverings
Cement-based tiles
Wood and shake shingles
6.
In open areas like atriums, building codes require:
smoke detectors.
fire-rated glazing.
evacuation alarms.
automatic sprinklers.
7.
Codes require that glass doors be made of:
framed glass.
beveled glass.
tempered glass.
frameless glass.
8.
Why are wood shingles and shakes treated with fire-retardant chemicals difficult for inspectors to identify?
Contractors fail to retain documentation.
Fire-retardant chemicals do not have odor.
Paper identification labels are not visible after installation.
Exposure to weather elements destroys identification markers.
9.
What agency has attempted to study the relationship between types of finishes and fire behavior?
Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
Society of Fire Professional Engineers
National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®)
National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)
10.
Swinging fire doors are required to:
close when a fusible link melts.
be connected to a fire alarm system.
swing in the direction of egress travel.
slide into position along a track by gravity.
11.
In what way does the combustibility of an interior finish contribute to fire behavior?
Creates an additional structural component
Produces flame that can contribute to life hazard
Interior finishes do not contribute to fire behavior
Adds to the intensity of the fire because it contributes fuel
12.
Kitchen grease exhaust ducts require _____ fire-resistive separation.
no
1-hour
2-hour
30-minute
13.
What is the difference between a fire partition and a fire barrier?
Fire partitions extend continuously through the building.
Fire partitions and fire barriers are exactly the same thing.
Fire barriers have a lower fire-resistance rating than partitions.
Fire barriers are required to terminate at the floor or roof deck.
14.
Fire-rated door assemblies are manufactured, assembled, and installed in accordance with specific requirements that have been tested and listed by:
model codes.
industry standards.
locally adopted codes.
independent testing laboratories.
15.
Any penetrations through a hoistway wall must:
never be allowed.
be connected to fire detection systems.
be done with an appropriately rated assembly.
be large enough for a person to pass through.
16.
A can be installed in large, vertical overhead doors to act as a means of egress.
sliding door
folding door
swinging door
revolving door
17.
Why are breaches in party walls against code regulations?
Breaches prevent the proper operation of automatic sprinkler systems.
Breaches reduce the structural integrity of the construction of the buildings.
Breaches are usually hidden under the floor, hampering inspection efforts.
Breaches make it possible for fires to communicate from building to building.
18.
Vertical openings that are commonly left unprotected include:
elevator shafts.
convenience staircases.
automatic sprinkler heads.
space around pipes and cables.
19.
The fire resistance of a concrete floor depends on the of the supporting steel.
age
brand
weight
fireproofing
20.
Which type of window is a double-hung configuration?
Fixed
Pivoting
Moveable
Projecting
21.
What type of enclosure walls may exist in old, fire-resistive structures?
Glass
Fire partition
Hollow, clay-tile
Lath and plaster
22.
Why is the structural floor system difficult to inspect?
Because contractors fail to keep meaningful records
Because the flammability of floor coverings is insignificant
Because floors are rarely covered with combustible materials
Because it is usually covered with some type of floor covering
23.

Attic
Curtain wall
Elevator shaft
Covered malls
24.
The of a floor assembly plays a primary role in preventing vertical fire spread.
