Question 3

A performance-based design uses tenability limits for temperature, visibility, and toxic products. Which principle is correct when judging whether the design succeeds?

The first tenability criterion exceeded controls the failure point

Question 4

Why must a fire protection engineer identify which codes and standards govern a project before doing detailed calculations?

Correct Answer:

Because the acceptance criteria and permitted design methods come from those governing documents
