Does fire behave differently in a confined space compared to an open space? Why?

$2)$ A designer is asked to propose an exterior wall design for a wood framing residential

construction that has the following characteristics:

$$ The wall must have a fire resistance rating of $2-$ hours.

$$ The wall must be able to reduce exterior airborne sound by at least $36$ dB $($must have an

STC rating STC $>36$ dB$).$

$$ Must have an air gap of $20$ mm and exterior brick veneer of $92$ mm$.$

$($a$)$ The code for the wall design that you have chosen: explain what the assembly code

means.

$($b$)$ A horizontal section drawing of the wall $($as seen from the top view$)$: a variation is

provided on the uploaded document. Include dimensions in your drawing.

$($c$)$ A vertical section drawing of the wall $($as seen from the side view$)$: use the existing plan

section $($under $($b$))$ to draw the vertical section drawing. Include dimensions in your drawing.
