3 story, 68,000 sf, type IIb, apartment (residential R-2), nfp13r.
8" conc plank supported by W steel beams , steel tubes and steel cross braces.
code analysis determined that the steel beams, steel tubes & cross braces need to be "individually" protected because bldg higher than 2 stories per section 714 IBC 2006.
design called for steel tube columns & braces to be protected with spray fireproofing ul x771.
the horizontal assembly floor is ul j957 which could include spray fireproofing supporting floor beams. drawings had beams wrapped with 2 layers of type X gyp bd per gypsum association GA-610-02.
contractor started attaching metal stud track directly to the bottom flange of floor supporting beams, sides of tube columns and sides of cross bracing BEFORE spray fireproofing and NOT using the typical "clips" to set off the metal stud track runners...
is there a ul or some kind of recognized testing certification that allows the metal studs to be spray fireproofed along with the structural steel to achieve the rating and the individual protection required?
been looking at joint ul number HW-D-1082....
is there a ul if the beams, columns and braces are wrapped in type X drywall than the columns and braces are enclosed inside U465 walls?
