Advanced Studies in the IBC Session 743
This session takes experienced code professionals past the fundamentals into the complex fire and life safety provisions of Chapters 7 through 10 — fire walls, fire barriers and smoke barriers, horizontal assemblies and shafts, penetrations and joint systems, interior finishes, fire protection systems, and egress in large and unusual buildings. Rather than surveying the text, the seminar works through case studies of large and atypical projects so attendees practice applying these provisions to the conditions they actually encounter in plan review and field inspection
