I really love your videos. I have learned a lot from them. Keep posting please.

[@jorgeibarra5572]

I just found your channel, I have been working remotely from Mex designing floor trusses for two years. Now I want to understand the design process of the buildings, besides,. it is related to wood trusses as well. I will watch all videos in a row. Gracias.

[@archicorner]

Me da gusto que te haya gustado el video. Te deseo lo mejor y espero que sigas aprendiendo. Keep up the good work!

[@trp2413]

Thank you so much, I’ve been trying to find a 2 hour rated wall for a safe room / panic room / gun vault room. This was perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@archicorner]

I am glad to hear that. Thanks for leaving a message. 😀

[@cynthiahernandez1676]

I want to thank you for your channel. I happen to come across it and I am a Plan Examiner and trying to pass IBC certification. Your channel is very helpful in understanding. 👍

[@archicorner]

Thank you for the comment. Don't give up, you can do it! Best of wishes in getting your certification!

[@valsporleder2140]

Thanks for keeping it informative but simple!

[@archicorner]

No problem!

[@PedramShokati]

Thank you for making these videos. Going over the changes for CBC 2022 would be greatly appreciated.

[@JoseOrtiz-iv9vz]

Thank you so much for making these helpful videos. We appreciate it.

[@archicorner]

You are welcome!

[@cjgoldsmith3929]

Great tips! Thanks for always teaching so much in a short video!

[@roslynandbobchauvin2378]

Thank you for the information. Any rules for a ceiling, for example in a basement where an ESS battery is installed?

[@davidrobertson26]

Great videos! Can't say that there's anything else out there like these. You should get HSW accredited.

[@archicorner]

Maybe one day!

[@innana2510]

Would love a video walk through of using the UL website/Product IQ

[@hadjirachanane3080]

Thank you for making this video 😊

[@archicorner]

My pleasure 😊

How are fire-resistant walls determined?

[@artmen0327]

Hi Josue , thanks for sharing your knowledge with us .lm a metal stud framing contractor in California I was wondering if you can do an episode about the 1 1/2" 16 gauge cold roll Chanel or before called black iron is the metal stick that goes in the punched wholes in the studs I would like to know what's the main purpose and when to apply it. Thanks in advance.

[@fahimsarwargilani]

Commendable contribution

[@jovannyjimenez7266]

What a great video, about table 721.1(2), I want to be able to navigate the California Residential building code, is there any subscription you recommend, I have come across Upcodes, what do you use to look up code information.

[@SalvadorFrieri]

Nice new intro!!!!

[@doughylkema2920]

You are super informative and do a wonderful job of explaining and simplifying the thought process. I do have a question in reference to other stated wording within the code. Hearing this explanation it can lead me to think that rated walls are only for separation. Chapter 6 of my current version of IBC,(2012) it's old. IBC table 601 specifies that most structural bearing walls are to be rated? Is this a correct assessment or is Chapter 7 the only location to find where rated walls are required?

[@archicorner]

Good observation. In short, there are various reasons why a wall may need to be fire rated. You mentioned a good reason which is that sometimes certain elements of a building need to be protected in order to be identified as a certain building type. Chapter 6 deals with building types, and will note what walls are required to be rated for a certain building type.

[@msaudiosystems]

Hello, nice video !. Does anybody know if a Through Penetration of a fired rated wall is also a double Membrane fire barrier penetration of that wall? Thanks.

[@doanpham972]

Your usage of "membrane" is confusing. Membrane is often reference to roofing like TPO, PVC or EPDM membrane roofing. Fire penetration products and "assemblies" can be found on 3M or Hilti website under their fire protection products, they should have UL rated assemblies for various type of walls ie Concrete, CMU, Wood Stud, Metal Stud.

[@jjgarcia9436]

You rock bro

[@saida_mei]

Thank you!

[@archicorner]

You're welcome!

[@paulneville3960]

I only need the UL rating for a 3 hour drywall wall with type X and not type C sheetrock

[@JF-gl8hh]

Is there any variance allowance say, if you have 2x6 or even 2x8 interior wall? Will the designs for 2x4 transfer?

[@archicorner]

Most rated conditions are in a book or catalog. In most literature, not all, you will find a prologue that explains the things that you can and cannot do. In most systems, you can have a larger core, but not a smaller one. For example, if the wall calls out for 2x4s but yo provide 2x6s then that is usually okay. But you cannot go from a 2x6 to a 2x4. But as mentioned already, you would have look at the catalog you are getting ratings from.

[@LOREMIG]

Tengo que instalar 5/8 drywall en un exterior firewall mi pregunta solo va pegado y clavado a 7 in centro o requiere algo mas algo especial como flashing o solo instalarlo como drywall normal

[@hikolyou]

Great

[@user-ly7sx3zw8q]

I have 2x4 walls with 7/16 osb and 19/32 t1-11 how can I make it 1 hour fire rated?

[@archicorner]

You would have to look through the UL book. There are literally hundreds of designs. It’s possible that one of them may be close to or the same as what you are planning. Another option is to see if the manufacturer offers rated conditions that match your needs. Often times you have to allow for slight modifications pending the approved design.

[@trampusjohnson3228]

are you in the gainsville Florida area, if so hit me up I think I have great video for you, but time is counting down quickly

[@JawadKhan-hz9sc]

Do you offer plan revisions?

[@Trash_Panda_Manifesto]

I live in Visalia, CA. I want to build a metal building made of galvanized steel in my back yard. I have gone to my local municipality several times to discuss permitting requirements. The person that works there told me that because two of the walls are at 3 feet from property line walls, those two walls have to be fire rated at 1 hour. I'm all for smart rule/regulations but what pisses me off is that they cannot tell me any examples of what I would need to do to achieve this. They won't even tell me is a steel building would qualify. They said, "It depends." I was thinking, "Yeah no shit. But you guys have literally no information on what requirements are being used to determine this." This is such an idiotic process. I am extremely frustrated. Wouldn't a steel building already qualify as 1 hour rated? Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. And thank you for your video!

[@archicorner]

Sorry for the confusion and for the late reply. I think the confusion here lies with between the terms "Fire rated" and "non-combustible". A metal building is already built from "non-combustible" materials and is metal is a good material to build with! However, this alone does not mean that the building (or a wall in the building) has been determined to have a fire rating. Even buildings that are built with only non-combustible materials have collapsed when under fire. That is why a wall must be built in a specific way to be "fire rated" even if it is built with non-combustible materials. If it is a custom prefab building, you may want to ask the fabricator if they have some details for a rated wall that you can use. Otherwise, you may be best off by hiring a residential architect who can design a fire rated wall based on your specific circumstances. Sorry if this was of no help.

[@Trash_Panda_Manifesto]

@@archicorner thanks for the reply. I just met with a draftsman today. Unfortunately it’s going to cost me an additional $800 or so 🤦🏼‍♂️. Thanks again! I appreciate it!

[@rc846]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l323kICqhq1oqZo Shell Walls nomaly are not fire rated walls Core walls are where you will find firewalls

[@archicorner]

Certain “building types” requiere exterior walls to be rated.

[@user-hq1ob1eu2c]

I will like to talk to u
