Kentucky Residential Code User:
The Code Administrators Association of Kentucky is happy to announce that registration for the 17th Annual Kentucky Residential Code (KRC) seminars is now open. This year’s KRC One Day training classes will be on 2018 Kentucky Residential Code and cover three topics (see description below) that have been requested by past attendees of these seminars. The special topics to be presented will cover code and construction requirements, along with pitfalls and problem areas associated with crawl space/conditioned crawl spaces, fire-resistant rated construction and deck construction.
2018 KRC – Addressing Pitfalls and Problem Areas Crawlspaces, Fire Resistant Construction and Deck Construction This seminar reviews and analyzes selected sections from the 2018 KRC. The class intent is to familiarize building officials, fire officials, plans examiners, inspectors, design professionals and contractors with specific areas of the code that are commonly violated. The goal is to assist code users in identifying the specific code requirements, and more importantly, educate users on the correct installation. The session will include under-floor requirements for construction, ventilation, insulation and access. Also addressed will be the fire resistive rated construction requirements in R302, when exterior walls require ratings, testing requirements and selection of appropriate assemblies. The final discussion item will be deck construction with discussion on support, bracing, connections, fasteners and weather protection. Course Objectives... Discuss requirements for ventilated versus non-ventilated crawlspaces Determine insulation requirements from the energy code and impact of foam plastics Apply requirements for use of thermal barriers and ignition barriers Discuss requirements for fire resistive rated construction of exterior and interior walls Identify prescribed ratings and selection criteria for the rated assembly Determine approved materials and opening allowances and protections Apply verification of listing criteria and field installation of the appropriate materials Identify vertical and lateral load paths of conventional residential decks Apply requirements of the 2015 IRC to a deck plan Identify minimum local footing size and material Determine appropriate beams and joist span lengths from tables Discuss best lateral connection for deck to existing dwelling Specialty: Building Course Type: In-Person CEU: 6 Closed cell or open cell foam plastics? When do I need a thermal barrier? What happens when I add storage in the crawlspace? Why do non-ventilated crawlspaces need conditioned air or vents? How do I attach the vapor barrier to the walls? How do I build my rated wall? Why can I not have an overhang on the side of my house? Can I notch my deck posts and how much? Can I use screws instead of nails? What is the proper spacing of my lag bolt for my ledger board?
