This is a live, repeat presentation of a webinar that was originally offered on 06/09/2022, 07/07/2022, and 08/04/2022 . Attendees of the previously offered presentation, RV-W060922, RV-W070722, and RV-W080422 will not receive CEU for attending the 09/15/2022 presentation.

The frequency of uncontrolled fire in an engineered building is low, but the consequences can be severe. Accordingly, the protection of structures from fire is critical for the life safety of building occupants and emergency responders, as well as community resilience. Architects and engineers alike hold tremendous influence in the area of structural fire protection. Unfortunately, structural fire protection remains one of the most misunderstood aspects of building design. This webinar will examine the fundamentals of structural fire resistance design, and will cover relevant code requirements, testing standards, and proper specification of structural fire protection.

Note: This is a live webinar delivered via GoToWebinar. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call Client Support (1-866-546-1212) the day of the event. Webinars are live and interactive. Students will have the ability to directly interact with and ask questions of the presenter.
