English term or phrase: A fire wall is constructed of two sheets of 5/8-inch plasterboard.
In the 1990s, high-rise residence buildings have become less safe for occupants and firefighters. A fire wall is constructed of two sheets of 5/8-inch plasterboard. A fire wall of plasterboard is less expensive and can be constructed faster. Unfortunately, plasterboard fire walls when poorly constructed have large cracks and spaces at the top and bottom. They are less effective in resisting fire spread, so flames can gain control of large areas. Several apartments or several floors of fire may occur in a high-rise residence building today.
