All,
Thank you in advance and hoping you can help.
R-2 Apartment Building under IBC - with load bearing 2x6 exterior wall, exterior sheathing, rigid insulation and vinyl siding. Exempt from NFPA 285 as type 5 construction.
Structural engineer would like exterior wall to be 24" o.c. since floor joists and roof trusses are at 24" o.c. as well but I cannot find any tested assemblies that would allow 24" oc!! Everything I see calls for 16" o.c. examples U356 and V302....
Thank you!!!!
