Q

Describe Heavy Timber Construction (Type IV)

A 
Heavy Timber (Type IV) buildings can be defined as those that have block or brick exterior load bearing walls and interior structural elements of a substantial dimension (greater than 8 inches/20 cm) in thickness and width.
Type IV buildings are like Type III but larger dimension lumber is used and void spaces are minimized.

Q

List the 5 steps to predicting building collapse.

Divide the 5 steps into three “processes”

A

Step 1: Classify the building’s construction using the “type/era/use/size” approach
Step 2: Determine structural involvement (read the smoke and flames)
Step 3: Visualize and trace loads
Step 4: Evaluate Time
Step 5: Predict and communicate collapse potential (foundation for zoning).

Step 1 and 2 are the “identification process”
Step 3 and 4 are the “Analytical process”
Step 5 is the “decide and communication process”
