  • It contains a Group C occupancy located more than 18m (59ft) above grade.
  • It is of EMTC construction and the highest storey is more than 18m (59ft) above grade
25
Q

  • Exhaust fan
  • Rooftop Unit (RTU)
  • Air handling unit
  • Air cooled chiller
  • Plumbing Vents
  • Roof drains
26
Q

Low slope

A

-Water resisting
Defined with a slope < 3:12
- Easy for maintenance/access for equipment
- Maximized space volume

27
Q

Steep slope

A

-Water shedding
Defined with a slope > = 3:12
- Requires gutters
- Extensive fall protection required

28
Q

Fall Protection

A

-Typical for equipment within 6.5 feet of edge of a low-slope roof
-Required on steep roofs that are accessed

29
Q

Low slope ‘Roofs’

A

-Minimum of 2 roof drains
-Scuppers provided at the edges of the roof for overflow
-DO NOT USE OVERFLOW ROOF DRAINS.

30
Q

Steep ‘Roofs’

A
  • Drainage
    • Gutters and downspouts
    • Sized according to BCPC
  • Eaves/overhangs
    • any greater than (> 4ft) must be sprinklered
  • Materials
    • Shingles
    • Sheet metal
31
Q

Three basic structural materials

A

-Wood
-Steel
-Concrete

32
Q

Types of wood in construction

A
  • Lumber
    • Directly from logs (sawing/cutting–2x4s)
  • Manufactured wood
    • Transformed wood fibres(plywood,
      glulams, CLTs)
33
Q

Why wood?

A

-Renewable material/low embodied carbon and energy inputs to produce
-Insulation/poor conductor
-Readily available in BC

34
Q

Hardwoods

A

-Beech
-Oak
-Ash

35
Q

Softwoods

A

-Pine
-Spruce
-Cedar

36
Q

Moisture Content

A
  • Free water
    • Moves between cells
  • Bound water
    • Trapped within the cells
  • (Weight of water/ weight of dry wood) x 100
  • FSP
    • Fibre saturation point (FSP) ~ 30%
  • any < 19% is dry lumber
  • any (> or = ) 20% is green lumber
37
Q

Air Seasoning

A

-Natural drying
-Months

38
Q

Kiln seasoning

A

-Four to five days
-Kills fungi

39
Q

Balanced Glulams

A

Used for continuous/cantilever (overhang)

40
Q

Unbalanced glulams

A
