About LinkBacksHey guys, a couple clarification questions...
1) If the bar joists in a non combustible building are protected by a suspended ceiling is the building considered to be fire resistive?
2)If a non combustible (bar joist and block) building is fully protected with a sprinkler system then is the building classified as fire resistive.
Thanks

Agreed with the chief. The structural members themselves need to have a protective coating.

Close. They need to be protected with a listed system of some kind. A fire resistive "coating" is one such system. Originally Posted by GTRider245

The Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

True. I think we can agree though that coating the members themselves is the most common way of doing this. Originally Posted by DeputyMarshal

The dreaded "flung dung" fire resistive coating... Originally Posted by GTRider245

The low bid fire resistive coating is made in China by Yew Flung Dung industries. Originally Posted by DeputyMarshal
