Appeal Information Sheet
Appeal item 1
| Code Section | 703.2 |
|---|---|
| Requires | Where materials, systems or devices that have not been tested as part of a fire-resistance rated assembly are incorporated into the building element component, or assembly, sufficient data shall be made available to the building official to show that the required fire-resistance rating is not reduced. Provide a tested and rated assembly angles, plates, and HSS steel in a horizontal assembly or provide an approved building code appeal for the proposed installations. |
| Code Modification or Alternate Requested | Method of maintaining the fire resistance rating of steel angle in accordance with ANSI/UL 263, ASTM E119 |
| Proposed Design | Propose protecting the 3/8" tip of the steel angle with CAFCO SprayFilm WB5. The thickness of the SprayFilm will be 105 mils and will taper a minimum of 2" onto the surface of the CAFCO-BOARD and the surrounding concrete. |
| Reason for alternative | Project conditions exist where a structural steel angle supporting precast concrete slabs. The angles have been protected with CAFCO-BOARD; however, the 3/8" tip of the angle have been left exposed due to obstructions (conduit). Reference Appeal ID #22173 and #23909. Reference Appeal Letter attached on page 4 |
Appeal Decision
Alternate 3 hour fire rating of structural steel angles: Granted as proposed.
The Administrative Appeal Board finds that the information submitted by the appellant demonstrates that the approved modifications or alternate methods are consistent with the intent of the code; do not lessen health, safety, accessibility, life, fire safety or structural requirements; and that special conditions unique to this project make strict application of those code sections impractical.
