Sorry, I posted this under the wrong section, should be here.
Building design using 2006 IBC:
A Mixed-use 4-story R2 apartments over S2 below grade plane basement for private enclosed parking.
Type VA construction, fully sprinklered to increase the 3 stories to 4 (as per table 503 and section 504.2).
Question: can the horizontal separation between the basement/first floor be built in wood frame floor trusses assuming the proper fire rating between the R2 and S2 uses is met? I seem to recall this was allowed (wood floor truss) in previous BOCA code versions, but am unsure in 2006 IBC (section 509.2 and 509.4).
Thanks in advance,
Scott
