Fire-Resistance Rating Requirements

The document presents Table 601 from the building code which specifies the required fire resistance ratings for building elements in different construction types. It states that for all construction types, walls must have a minimum 1 hour fire resistance rating. The table then lists the required fire resistance ratings in hours for primary structural frames, bearing walls, non-bearing walls, floor construction, and roof construction according to the five construction types.

a.

Roof supports: Fire-resistance ratings of primary structural frame and bearing walls are permitted
to be reduced by 1 hour where supporting a roof only.
b. Except in Group F-1, H, M and S-1 occupancies, fire protection of structural members shall not be
required, including protection of roof framing and decking where every part of the roof
construction is 20 feet or more above any floor immediately below. Fire-retardant treated wood
members shall be allowed to be used for such unprotected members.
c. In all occupancies, heavy timber shall be allowed where a I-hour or less fir-resistance rating is
required.
d. An approved automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1 shall be allowed to
be substituted for I-hour-fire-resistance-rated construction, provided such system is not otherwise
required by other provisions of the code or used for an allowable area increase in accordance with
Section 506.3 or an allowable height increase in accordance with Section 504.2. The I-hour substitution
for the fire resistance of exterior walls shall not be permitted.
e. Not less than the fire-resistance rating required by other sections of this code.
f. Not less than the fire-resistance rating based fire separation distance (see table 602.
g. Not less than the fire-resistance rating as referenced in Section 704.10.
