Description
 
The Fire Resistance Design Manual, 18th Edition, provides contractors, designers, specifiers, owners, and others with a convenient compilation of the latest in tested gypsum-board designed fire-rated protection systems.

This new edition of the Gypsum Association's Fire Resistance Design Manual depicts over 340 systems that may be used for fire-rated walls and partitions, floor/ceiling systems, roof/ceiling systems, and to protect columns, beams, and girders. Included for the first time in this edition are several new floor- and roof-ceiling systems and double-stud steel partition designs.

Excerpt from the Introduction
This Manual is a convenient and useful specification aid for anyone concerned with the design, construction, or inspection of fire resistive and sound control systems. Design information is quickly and easily determined. Comparison of these characteristics allows the user to be more accurate in meeting design and code requirements. The data provided are especially useful to builders, architects, code officials, fire service, and insurance personnel.

The systems in this Manual utilize gypsum products to provide fire resistance to walls, partitions, floor-ceilings, roof-ceilings, columns, beams, girders, and trusses. Systems are classified according to their typical uses and their fire-resistance ratings. Walls, partitions, and floor-ceiling systems are further classified byt Sound Transmission Class (STC) or Field Sound Transmission Class (FSTC). The Impact Insulation Class (IIC) is included for many wood framed floor-ceiling systems.
