• There are 8 gypsum wallboard companies in the United States.
• Each company has fire and sound rated assemblies – some shared but many proprietary.
• To assist the industry, these 8 companies working through the Gypsum Association combine these different tested assemblies into one repository – the “Fire Resistance Design Manual”.
• Examine terms used in the Fire Resistance Design Manual and how they are applied.
• How a fire test is performed.
• Basic conditions of sound control.
