Step up your detailing game with this wood design course! What is the most economical unit demising wall assembly in a multi-family building? How do you detail the intersection of corridor walls and unit demising walls? How can you detail a head of corridor wall to underside of floor assembly while maintaining code requirements for fire-resistance continuity, minimizing acoustics flanking, and transferring structural loads for shear walls? If you have questions like this, you won’t want to miss this course focused on practical solutions for real world challenges. This workshop includes a step-by-step discussion of how to design and detail common interior wall assemblies and wall intersections in mid-rise multi-family wood structures. We’ll analyze example details and assemblies, contrast different assembly options, learn how to make modifications to tested wall assemblies, and look at tools you can use to evaluate your options.
By the end of the course, you will be able to do the following:
- Review code provisions that define fire resistance-ratings and acoustics ratings for interior wood walls such as unit demising walls and corridor walls.
- Introduce shaft wall assembly types, evaluating their applicability to elevator, stair and mechanical shafts.
- Provide detailing options that establish fire resistance continuity at framing intersections.
- Recognize structural design considerations for interior unit demising and corridor walls in mid-rise applications.
