CSI’s fire resistance laboratory,in co-operation with a fireproof walls manufacturer,has pursued a fire resistance test campaign in order to certify the different types of load-bearing wall elements. During the tests,a suitable new test apparatus has been used to load the elements under examination,so determining their load-bearing capacity.
The apparatus permits to carry out qualification tests according both to the current norm ,Circular 91and to the new european norm UNI EN 1365-1.
