Research and explain fire-resistance rating requirements of exterior walls based on fire separation distance as well as type of construction and occupancy groups. Study table 705.5, which requires the occupancy group be known in order to determine the fire-resistance requirements for exterior walls. Describe the purpose of code requirements and fire ratings for exterior walls and the impact of fire separation distance. Explain the correlation between fire separation distance and type of construction and how this impacts the fire-resistance rating of an exterior wall. What impact does an active fire-resistive system have on fire-resistance ratings as required by code? Additionally, answer the following questions using Table 705.5 from your textbook:
- What is the fire-resistive rating (in hour(s)) for Group H with a fire separation distance of 6, for IA construction types?
- What is the fire-resistive rating (in hour(s)) for Group A with a fire separation distance of 15, for construction type VB?
- What is the fire-resistive rating for Group S-2 with a fire separation distance of <5, for all construction types?
