Learn the fundamentals of fire rated doors and applications. Learn how to determine proper applications for various fire/smoke requirements and confirm that codes and accessibility requirements are met.
Learning Objectives:
- Analyze use and occupancy classifications to determine appropriate fire-rated door and opening protection requirements in commercial building design.
- Differentiate between fire and smoke barriers, compartments, and assemblies, and apply these distinctions to proper door system selection.
- Evaluate fire-rated door applications, including labeling, ratings, and field conditions, to ensure compliance with applicable building and life safety codes.
- Assess the impact of positive and negative pressure on fire door performance and select compliant assemblies accordingly.
- Interpret air leakage requirements for smoke-rated assemblies and verify compliance through testing standards and product data.
- Identify key components that contribute to a code-compliant door system, including hardware, clearances, and installation requirements.
- Apply accessibility standards to door design, including clear width, maneuvering clearance, and opening force, to ensure compliance with ADA and related codes.
