1. Floor Assembly – Min 4-1/2 in. (114 mm) thick reinforced lightweight or normal weight (100-150 pcf or 1600-2400 kg/m3)
structural concrete.
2. Wall Assembly – Min 5-1/4 in. (133 mm) thick reinforced lightweight or normal weight (100-150 pcf or 1600-2400 kg/m3) structural
concrete. Wall may also be constructed of any UL Classified Concrete Blocks*.
See Concrete Blocks (CAZT) category in the Fire Resistance Directory for names of manufacturers.
3. Joint System – Max separation between bottom of floor and top of wall (at time of installation of joint system) is 2 in. The joint
system is designed to accommodate a max 13 percent compression or extension from its installed width. The joint system shall
consist of the following:
A. 
Forming Material* — Min 4 pcf (64 kg/m3) mineral wool batt insulation compressed and firmly packed into the gap between the top
of the wall and bottom of the floor. The strips of mineral wool batt insulation installed on the inaccessible side of the wall are to be 1 in.
to 2 in. (25 to 51 mm) wide and are to be installed edge-first such that the batt sections are compressed min 50 percent, flush with the
inaccessible surface of the wall. After application of the fill material (Item 3B) on the surface of the mineral wool batt packing material
above the top plane of the wall, additional strips of the mineral wool batt insulation are to be installed to fill the remainder of the joint
opening above the wall and recessed from the surface of the wall to accommodate the fill material on the accessible surface of the
wall. Sections of strips of batts to be stacked on top of each other to form an overall thickness two times the thickness of the nominal
joint width and installed edge-first such that the batt sections are compressed min 50 percent.
