Gain an overview of firestopping basics, requirements, best practices, and innovations for your projects. This course provides a general introduction and review of firestop for project managers, contractors, and designers. Upon completing this session, the participant should understand the basics of firestopping, including the applicable codes and standards. Attendees should have a basic understanding of firestop system testing, including testing for secondary attributes and be able to select appropriate systems for an application. Participants will also gain an understanding of firestopping best practices, available resources and firestopping innovations for various applications.

This course will review the process crucial to optimization of steel design, focusing on fire protection as a key consideration. Design considerations relating to steel protection will be reviewed along with ways to determine the type of fireproofing that best suits the overall application. This presentation will review test standards required to meet International Building Code requirements and examples of typical fireproofing specification sections. Participants will learn about the key standards that define testing parameters and the extents of permissible extrapolation of test results. Attendees will also learn about common application issues faced by fireproofing applicators, as well as inspection requirements per the IBC and inspection guidance for local Authorities Having Jurisdiction. - series

Bond strength is a key design consideration when specifying post-installed adhesive anchoring systems. Additional design parameters such as moisture condition of the concrete, installation method, and temperature; as described in ACI 318-19 Chapter 26, need to be evaluated to determine their impact on the bond stress of the adhesive. - series

Composite decks offer an economical and efficient solution for creating floor slabs on a variety of projects. Along with structural and non-structural considerations, all decks require penetrations for services. The methods for creating these penetrations can affect the structural integrity of the deck. This presentation will examine the applications and practical implications of designing for penetrations in composite metal decks. - series
