Fire Code Compliance for Metal Building Systems Webinar

Fire resistance requirements for building construction continue to
become more complicated with each new edition of the codes. New
materials such as foam plastics and higher levels of insulation will
change the way buildings are designed and change the requirements to
meet the fire resistance requirements elsewhere in the codes.
This presentation will give the attendees knowledge of building
code requirements for fire protecting buildings and an advanced
understanding of how to do so. The presentation will cover the IBC
requirements for fire rated construction, focusing on specific examples
for metal building systems. 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.
