Stability 03
Stability 03 : (1) The stability of an element of building construction when tested in the fire resistance test is measured to the time of collapse for non-loadbearing constructions, to the time of deflection in excess of specified limits for horizontal constructions, and for loadbearing constructions as 80 per cent of the time to collapse in the test or 80 per cent of the heating time if collapse occurs in the reload test. (2) (Phys. The tendency for a system or single item to remain in a given state or condition. A stable dynamic system possesses restoring forces which return it to an equilibrium state if disturbed by an outside force. (3) (Chem) The resistance of a chemical compound to decomposition
