2021 IBC Section 716.4 Fire Protective Curtain Assembly: UL 10D These requirements cover the evaluation of fire-protective curtain assemblies intended to provide supplemental, passive fire protection as part of an engineered fire protection system. Fire-protective curtain assemblies are horizontally or vertically oriented. ANSI A156.32 – Integrated Door Opening Assemblies Integrated door assemblies are a recent development in design that combines the exit device, hardware, door, and frame into a single unit. Integrated door assemblies provide a single solution for entry, exit and cross-corridor doorways. Difficulties with installation due to problems of hardware compatibility and misalignment are avoided. This course is based on a case study for a high-rise tower covering a complex smoke management system.
