This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of how the construction type, alternative design, and materials influence a building's reaction to fire. This course will provide recognition of relevant information about a building before a fire, as well as fire ground 'reading' of the building that will provide the ability to assess building stability, resistance to fire, and determine likely paths of fire extension. The student will become familiar with the materials and types of construction used for the various parts of buildings in this class. Building code requirements, steel, timber and masonry construction, structures of common form, lift-slab and tilt-up construction and developments in the building construction field are covered. Prerequisites Acceptance into Fire Science Program
