Plumbing and electrical wiring are simply installed using a hot knife, router, or sheet rock saw to form the channels and/or
openings needed.

Table 1 requires a minimum of 3,000 psi concrete and 40,000 psi deformed steel rebar.
Table 1 assumes a wind speed of 100 mph (design wind load of 34.7 lbs/ft2).
Table 1 assumes unsupported wall heights that do not exceed 10 feet from floor to ceiling.
Table 1 assumes a roof live load (snow load of 30 lbs/ft2 and a floor live load of 40 lbs/ft2.
Table 1 assumes roof and floor dead loads of 15 lbs/ft2.
Table 1 should not be used for basements. (See Tables 2 through 5 for basement rebar requirements).
