Describes how interior and
exterior wood-frame walls and wood I-joist floors can be used to meet building code requirements
for fire resistive assemblies.
For additional assemblies not shown in DCA 3, see Chapter M16 of the 2005 ASD/LRFD Manual for Engineered Wood Construction: http://www.awc.org/pdf/2005ASD-LRFD_Manual_WEB.pdf#page=113 |

PDF
Describes a procedure to
calculate the fire endurance rating of a wood-frame wall, roof, or floor/ceiling
assembly. The procedure is based on combining previously determined fire
resistance time values of each separate component of the assembly without
the need for additional fire testing.
