Introduction to Structural Fire Protection

Overview/Description

This course is approved/registered with AIA (American Institute of Architects). If you are an AIA member, once you pass the course we will submit your hours directly to the AIA for you so they are entered into your transcript.

This course introduces passive fire resistance features in building design, the key elements in structural fire protection.

Upon completion you should be able to:

• Explain the difference between active and passive fire protective systems
• Identify the major fire resistive materials standards
• Identify the major fire resistive design standards

Who Will Benefit

Anyone whose job involves designing, reviewing, evaluating or installing fire protection systems, including: designers, installers, engineers, electrical contractors, technicians, project managers, fire marshals, and architects.

Course Summary

• Selected building code regulations
• Fire resistive construction and its role in fire and life safety
• Various references and sources of design information 
• Standard test basis for fire resistive ratings
• Prescriptive code requirements for fire resistive construction
