I have a case where a fire barrier needs to become a bulkhead near the roof deck to avoid conflict with a joist. My concern is about the horizontal piece of the bulkhead and whether that construction can remain the same as the vertical fire barrier (2 layers 'x' gwb). It's not really a floor/ceiling assembly since it's at the roof.
I'm just not finding a definitive answer in my research. Is there acode section I'm missing?
