Fire Resistance Rated Assemblies Using Engineered Wood Products
1:00 pm EDT
This course provides specifiers with the knowledge to properly design floors & walls utilizing I-joists in Multifamily/Light-Commercial buildings requiring fire-rated assemblies. Type III construction and the code surrounding FRT are addressed. The course also reviews the wall-to-floor intersection and how to utilize resources to address that area.
Learning Objectives:
