Continuing Education: 1.5 hours available Cold-formed steel framed walls, both interior and exterior, are often part of a fire-rated assembly. As such, the spaces between these assemblies and other fire-rated assemblies (for example floors), may potentially allow for the passage of flames and hot gasses, and must be firestopped to ensure that the entire assembly retains its fire rating. We will explore the basic concepts of firestopping along with the code requirements. We will provide examples of the kinds of technologies available to complete a fire-rated wall assembly. In addition, the CFS framed wall assemblies must be fastened properly to the concrete or steel structural elements, to ensure that the loads from the walls are properly transferred. This connection is often completed using Power-actuated fastenings. We will review the basic concepts behind power-actuated fastening technology, and the technical details. We will also discuss the various types of technology available for power-actuated fastening. Webinar Materials The day before the webinar, participants will have access to electronic versions of the following:
