722.4.1.3 Multi-Wythe Walls With Airspace
Go To Full Code Chapter
Where a continuous airspace separates multiple wythes of the wall or partition, the total fire-resistance rating shall be determined by the formula:
where:
where:
| R | = | The fire-resistance of the assembly (hours). |
| R1, R2 and Rn | = | The fire-resistance of the individual wythes (hours). |
| as | = | Coefficient for continuous airspace. |
Values for Rn0.59 for use in Equation 7-10 are given in Table 722.4.1(3). The coefficient for each continuous airspace of 1/2 inch to 31/2 inches (12.7 to 89 mm) separating two individual wythes shall be 0.3.
