12" is a good rule of thumb for 2-hour rating....but the 2006 IBC will give you a more accurate indication, plus industry web sites for concrete vendors will give you more accurate info.....
Concrete is much more fire resistant. This is shown by the design of reinforced concrete structure where the steel is placed within the concrete. A major reason is that the concrete protects the steel from any fire. Steel only construction requires the steel to be covered in a fire protection material.
Concrete can be damaged by fire, orgonite, aggregate expansion, sea water effects, bacterial corrosion, leaching, physical damage and chemical damage (from carbonation, chlorides, sulfates and distillate water).
a blinding concrete is a thin layer of lean concrete

You need 6.67 cubic yards of concrete (order 7). Not knowing what rating you are looking for I can't tell you the mix ratios.
More information is needed to answer this question... What ratting are you looking for? Sheer Compression Fire Others Terry North

Yes, you can build a fire pit out of concrete. Concrete is a durable material that can withstand high temperatures from a fire. Make sure to use a fire-rated concrete mix and follow proper construction techniques to ensure the fire pit is safe and long-lasting.
No, the rating is based on the assembly
M1 Fire Rating
Resistance means barrier to something. And I hope you know what is fire?ans2. Fire Resistance Rating is a formal measurement of fire rating. It is used to provide a relative rating for fire resistance for doors, walls, etc.The rating is measured in a standard test rig, and with a 'standardized fire'. These are laid out in various standards.Ratings are commonly given in 30 minute increments, as anything between these intervals is unimportant in the context.Some rating numbers however refer to the temperature profile against time, of the fire.
An A60 fire rating indicates a fire-resistance classification for building materials and components, specifically related to their ability to withstand fire for a duration of 60 minutes. This rating is often used in marine and offshore environments, where fire safety is crucial. Materials with an A60 rating can help prevent the spread of fire and protect structural integrity during emergencies. Compliance with this rating is typically required by safety regulations in specific industries and applications.

Unprotected steel is generally not recognized as having a fire resistance rating.
Sheet metal typically has a fire rating of Class A, which means it is highly resistant to fire and will not contribute to the spread of flames. However, the specific fire rating can vary depending on the thickness of the sheet metal and any fire-resistant coatings that may have been applied.
