An Introduction to Post Frame Construction
The objectives of this program are to introduce code officials to post-frame building systems, to define the unique structural features of post-frame construction and to identify the primary structural and construction details necessary for code compliance.  The daylong program first defines the post-frame structural framing system followed by a discussion of the relationship between post-frame construction and the International Building Code.  Basic concepts are put into practice by conducting a mock building inspection of a post-frame project during construction.  Topics include:

  • Critical load paths for transfer of design loads to ground
  • Critical structural requirements for such
  • Wood sidewall posts
  • Post-foundations
  • Key connections
  • Lateral bracing
  • Roof sheathing

IFC 201: UNDERSTANDING FIRE SPRINKLERS
Over the past 5 years, the fire sprinkler industry has grown by leaps and bounds, from the re-correlation of NFPA 13 to the development of specialty sprinklers in order to accommodate our ever-changing world and fire hazards.

This 2-day course begins with sprinkler code development, application of the codes, and understanding codes and definitions. Students will then learn the ins and outs of sprinkler systems beginning at the remote area and following the piping from branch lines to mains, through the riser and to the source of the water from which the system is to be fed.

In following this path, we will cover in detail sprinkler components, classification of sprinkler commodity, sprinkler design densities, spacing of sprinklers and associated piping, hangers, and routing of piping. We will then address sprinkler risers and all associated connections from the fire department connections to sprinkler supervision. Also covered will be water supplies for sprinkler systems, learning what options are available to the property owner, designer, and the authority having jurisdiction
