14 FWUA TERMS Residential Construction Classifications –FRAME –MASONRY –REINFORCED MASONRY

15 Residential Construction Classifications  FRAME Exterior walls of wood or other combustible materials including combinations with other materials such as brick or stone veneer and stucco or wood. Wood frame is relied upon for structural stability.

16 Residential Construction Classification  MASONRY Exterior walls of non-reinforced masonry materials such as adobe, brick, concrete block, stone, fill or other materials and are relied upon for structured stability.

17 Residential Construction Classification  REINFORCED MASONRY Exterior walls of masonry materials that are reinforced with both vertical and horizontal steel reinforced and relied upon for structural stability. Vertical reinforcement shall be fully grouted in the cells of hollow masonry units and horizontal reinforcement shall be fully grouted in specially formed (Bond Beam) units designed for that purpose or poured concrete tie beams. Tilt-up or poured concrete wall units shall be reinforced both vertically and horizontally with reinforcing steel.

18 Predominant Construction  Mixed Construction: if at least 33 1/3 % then use highest rate. –FRAME –MASONRY –REINFORCED MASONRY FWUA TERMS

36  Secondary Water Resistance Residential Loss Mitigation

37  Secondary Water Resistance A self adhering polymer modified bitumen roofing underlayment (thin rubber or asphalt sheets with peel and stick underside located beneath the roof covering) or a foamed polyurethane sheathing adhesive that is applied to seal all joints in the sheathing to protect from interior water intrusion. Residential Loss Mitigation

38  Sheathing Attachment –Superior* –Standard *Must be verified by survey Residential Loss Mitigation

39 Superior Sheathing Roof sheathing with a minimum thickness of 1/2” attached to roof trusses/rafters by 8d nails or greater (e.g. 10d nails or #8 screws) which are properly spaced. OR A AFG-01 structural adhesive, that is continuously applies, per the manufacturer’s instructions, on both sides of the truss/rafter. Residential Loss Mitigation

42 Gable Braced

43 A gable roof where the trusses (or the wall portion that extends above the gable end wall) are strengthened by properly securing (via nails, or clips/straps) the bottom chord of the truss to the top of the end wall and bracing the bottom chord to the adjacent trusses to prevent the wind from pushing or pulling the gable end where the gable truss is connected along the gable wall. Residential Loss Mitigation

44  Devices which are not required to be verified by survey are devices and features that can be verified by photos. Examples include: –Hip Roof –Unbraced Gable Roof –Unreinforced Masonry Walls
