Type III Fire-Resistant Design & Detailing: Exterior Walls, Intersections & Balconies

With an increase in mid-rise wood-frame buildings, more designers are seeking information on code-compliant and constructible detailing. Many are unsure of the code's requirements for details, specifically at the intersection of rated assemblies and where structure and fire protection meet.

This session will focus on common detailing issues and areas of misunderstanding of exterior walls and their intersection with rated floor assemblies. Join us for a review of mid-rise wood-frame opportunities and code-specified building sizes. Plus, review detailing code requirements, code compliance, and rationale for approval with an emphasis on constructability and practicality.
