Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing’s Post

New Post to our BOMA Help Desk: We recently answered the following question on our website about Calculation Of Boundary Area In Buildings With Parapets: "For a tilt panel concrete warehouse that has walls higher than the roof, is the permanent roof area that defines boundary area measured to the inside of the parapet wall since the roof technically does not extend to outer limit of building?"

Surveyors frequently see cavity trays being used at the DPC level between the external masonry cladding and timber frames. As reasonable as it might seem to stop water from getting in, it can actually hurt drainage and ventilation. Read about it on our technical blog here: https://bit.ly/3z8kCAt

Introducing the new construction system for partition walls using Protecta FR Board. We are excited to introduce you to a groundbreaking construction solution that combines exceptional fire safety with effective sound insulation - our new partition wall system using Protecta FR Board. This new system is tailored for specialised areas, streamlining work processes and reducing costs. It's the perfect fit for areas with limited access, such as fire compartments in lofts, fire-rated walls in technical rooms, and separating culverts into fire zones. It's quick and easy to install using timber studs and in some cases, there is no need for head and base tracks, or outer studs. In an industry where safety and efficiency are paramount, Protecta FR Board shines as the ideal choice.

Truss Tuesday: Floored Question: While the TPI Technical Advisory Committee recommends that the minimum grade of visually stress-related lumber used for truss chords should be No. 2 grade, could you hypothetically use No. 3 for either one and still perform under capacity? Top and Bottom Chords are Southern Pine No. 2 Webs are Southern Pine No. 3 Building Code: IBC 2021 Loads (psf unless otherwise noted): TC Live Load 40 TC Dead Load 10 BC Live Load 0 BC Dead Load 5 The answer will be posted on Thursday! This is not a production truss! This is simply an example for Truss Tuesday conversation. You can view this post on our website along with previous Truss Tuesday questions and truss-related articles. https://lnkd.in/gbVUx4ju #trusstuesday #truss #trusses #woodconstruction #structuralengineering #engineering #trussdesign

SFS rainscreen subframe systems – more than just a helping hand - https://lnkd.in/ebX6p4z7 -   Rainscreen cladding solutions feature on many different types of property, from apartment blocks and hotels to schools and railway stations, while the build-up behind the visible panels is relied upon to ensure their performance benefits extend to far more than being a first line of defence against the weather.   With this

Minimum Construction Requirements (NBC Sentences 9.10.15.5.(1) to (3)) The construction requirements apply to exposing building faces and any exterior wall that is located above an exposing building face that encloses an #attic or roof space.  Three levels of stringency are specified depending on limiting distance as illustrated in Figure 9.10.-30. Quoted from Illustrated Users' Guide - NBC2015 #exposingbuildingface #exteriorwall #limitingdistance

Answer: T1 can be replaced with No. 3, but replacing B1 with No. 3 would cause the truss to go over capacity.
