| Lack of knowledge of fire propagation index of building material used for building project has led to recurrent destruction of building by fire. This study fire performance index of selected building materials was assessed. Fire propagation test was used to determine the fire performance indices. The building materials include imperial ceiling board, Aluminum Alloy, clay brick, Nigerite ceiling board, Iroko Hard wood (Chlorophora excelsa), Oomo hard wood (Cordial Spp); cement brick and Aluzinc examined and analysis. Majority (87.5 %) of the materials were under building regulations class 2. The result of performance index, show that imperial ceiling board has the highest performance index of 16.91, while Aluzinc has 3.11 as the least performance index.... |
