722.4.1.3 Multiwythe Walls With Airspace
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
(Equation 7-10)
Where a continuous airspace separates multiple wythes of the wall or partition, the total fire-resistance rating shall be determined by the formula:
(Equation 7-10)where:
R = The fire-resistance rating of the assembly (hours).
R1, R2 and Rn = The fire-resistance rating 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.
