1 Wood I-Joists and Firefighter Safety American Wood Council Engineered and Traditional Wood Products Copyright 2011 American Wood Council
2 Presentation ti Outline Concern has been raised about the hazard from wood I-joist floor collapses during fires This presentation: provides general information about wood I-joists and their use provides information on the relationship between wood I- joists and firefighter casualties details firefighter educational material developed d by the wood industry
3 Wood I-Joist Popularity Efficient use of resources (trees) Desired attributes for architectural design Desired attributes for structural performance
4 Resource Efficiency Wood I-joists qualify as a resource-efficient framing material in many green building standards
5 Architectural Design Design flexibility with greater open spaces Manufactured to required length I-Joists used as floor framing
6 Structural Performance Strength and stiffness of wood I-joists are established through engineering and testing Oriented Strand Board web Solid Lumber flange Laminated Veneer Lumber Flange

10 Fire Safety of Firefighters: Affected by Wood I-Joists? All firefighter fatalities ( ) * Causes of all firefighter fatalities (2000) Floor or roof collapse Struck Other Fall Stress Vehicle Collisions Trapped Let s take a close look at floor collapse data... U.S. Fire Administration Firefighter Fatalities in the U.S. in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005,2006, 2007 * Does not include the 344 firefighters who died in the World Trade Center collapse, 2001

12 Firefighter Fatalities For the decade of A total of 1033* firefighters died in the line of duty (all causes included) Of those died due to structural collapse Of those died in single family floor collapses Of those were over basements Of those 12 3 died in unprotected I-joist floor collapses over basements * Does not include the 344 firefighters who died in the World Trade Center collapse

15 Firefighter Education and d Training T i i The wood industry is committed to providing education to the fire service to reduce firefighter deaths from collapse.
16 Firefighter Education and dtraining i Product awareness guides AF&PA website on fire performance of wood Wood products display cases for firefighter training centers Wood I-joist for hands-on training
17 Wood I-Joists: One of Many New Features of Modern Construction Feature Fire Effect Larger homes Faster fire Open floor plans propagation Increased fire loads Shorter time to Floor/ceiling/attic flashover voids Shorter escape times New building Shorter time to materials structural collapse Source: UL University Structural Stability of Engineered Lumber in Fire Conditions Underwriters Laboratories
18 Summary Wood I-joists are popular, resource efficient, and recognized as green Use of wood I-joists has increased without a corresponding increase in firefighter deaths due to collapse Floor collapse fatalities occur primarily over basements Changes in building practices and Changes in building practices and modern furnishings create new challenges for the fire service
19 Our Commitment AF&PA continues to work with fire service leaders to: define collapse risk of unprotected floors define factors that contribute to collapse develop solutions that meet their needs
