30
Type I Construction
- Fire Resistive Construction - Most fire-resistive type - Used for buildings with large numbers of people, e.g. hospitals, schools - All structural members/components made of noncombustible materials, steel, concrete, gypsum board - Typically reinforced concrete and protected steel-frame construction - Building should not provide fuel for serious fire, contents determine severity of fire
31
Type II Construction
- Noncombustible - Less strict requirements than Type I - Most common in single story warehouses or factories where vertical fire spread is a non-issue - Steel most common structural material, can be insulated - Fire severity determined by building contents
32
Type III Constuction
- Ordinary - Usually no more than 4 stories, can be up to 7 - Masonry exterior walls support floors and roof structure - Interior structural and non-structural members constructed of wood - Fire-resistance requirements limited - Two separate fire loads: Contents and combustible building materials used - Void spaces allow fire to extend vertically and horizontally
33
Type IV Construction
- Heavy Timber - Masonry exterior walls - Interior walls, columns, beams, floor assemblies, and roof structure made of wood - Much heavier wood than Type III, more difficult to ignite, withstands fire longer, burns for many hours if ignited - No concealed spaces or voids
34
Type V Construction
- Wood Frame - All major compents are constructed of wood - Up to four stories - Structural assemblies engineered to be just strong enough to carry required loads - Little build-in safety margin - Can collapse suddenly and completely during a fire
35
Three Types of Wood Swinging Doors
