Fire resistance requirements for building construction continue to become more complicated with each new edition of the code. New materials such as foam plastics and higher levels of insulation will change the way buildings are designed, and will change the fire resistance requirements in the codes. • This presentation will give viewers knowledge of the building code requirements for fire protecting buildings and an advanced understanding of how to do so. The presentation will cover the International Building Code (IBC) requirements for fire rated construction, focusing on specific examples for metal building systems. MBMA has conducted fire testing at Underwriters Laboratory utilizing metal building assemblies for many of these constructions. MBMA’s UL rated assemblies will be reviewed in detail, in addition to incorporating portions of the MBMA Fire Resistance Design Guide for Metal Building Systems. • Part 1 – Fire Resistance Design Basics • Provides an overview of the referenced code resources, key terminology and definitions, occupancy classifications, types of construction and fire resistance ratings. • For additional information please visit the following program links: • http://www/mbma.com • http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/te... • http://www.mbma.com/Fire_Protection.asp • http://www.techstreet.com/mbma/standa... • About the presenter: • Nestor R. Iwankiw, PE, SE, PhD is the senior engineer at Jensen Hughes Associates and fire code consultant for Metal Building Manufacturers Association, Cleveland.
