Q

What is the purpose of Calgreen(part 11)?

A

Applies to planning, design, operation, construction, use and occupancy of every newly constructed building or structure, unless otherwise indicated in this code.

17
Q

How is the CA building standards code different from model codes?

A
  • More stringent seismic design requirements
  • More stringent structural tests and special inspections
  • Chapter 7A wildfire exposure
  • Chapter 11A & 11B- Accessibility requirements developed and maintained by DSA
  • CBSC includes California Energy code(part 6)
18
Q

Name five state agencies that have amended a section of the model code and are included in the CBSC in brackets?

A
  • SFM- Office of State Fire Marshall
  • HCD- Department of Housing and Community Development
  • OSHPD- Office of statewide health planning and Developement
  • DSA-AC - DIvision of state architect- Access Compliance
  • CA- Department of Consumer Affairs
19
Q

What issue should the architect consider during programming that will be a concern of the local building department?

A

Even though programming is the initial stage of design, local building department concerns should be taken into account for the following;

  • Fire department access and egress
  • Life Safety
  • Building type and occupancy separations
  • Accessibility for both the site and building
20
Q

Define the five different construction types

A

I - Steel, reinforced concrete, masonary construction, non-combustible structure required and fire- resistive

II- Steel, Reinforced concrete, masonary construction, non-combustible structure required and fire-resistive

III- Same as I and II but can include wood except in structure frame.

IV- Heavy Timber

V- Steel, reinforced concrete, masonary or wood construction

Differences in construction type typically refer to fire ratings of components such as structural systems, exterior bearing walls, interior bearing walls, shafts, floors and floor/ceiling assemblies, and roof and roof/ceiling assemblies.

21
Q

What are the 5 min concerns to determine at the beginning of a project?

A
  • Occupancy Group
  • Type of Construction
  • Location of building on the property
  • Allowable floor area
  • Height and number of stories
22
Q

What is contained in Chapter 7A of the CBC and how is this inclusion different from the model codes?

A

7A is included within Chapter 7(fire resistance rated construction) and refers to materials and construction methods for exterior wildfire exposure.

It applies to building materials, systems and.or assemblies used in exterior design of new buildings located within a wildland urban interface fire area.

23
Q

What chapter of the CBC addresses accessibility and what do the two separate parts apply to?

A

Chapter 11 of the CBC covers accessibility and is divided into two parts:

11A: Housing accessibility - applicable to multi-family dwellings
11B: Accessibility to Public Buildings - Public accommodations, commercial buildings and publicly funded housing

24
Q

What is the scope of Part 2.5 - California residential building code of California building standards code?

A

Part 2.5 - Based on 2009 International residential building code and applies to every detached one and two family dwelling, townhouses not more than three stories above grade plane in height with a separate means of egress, and accessory structures

25
Q

What are the 5 areas of focus of part 8- California historical building code (CHBC)?

A
  • Preservation
  • Restoration
  • Rehabilityation
  • Relocation
  • Reconstruction

Purpose is to provide regulations for buildings or properties designated as qualified historical buildings or properties.

26
Q

How do accessibility requirements of the California Historical Building Code(CHBC) affect a historical building and which are most critical?

A

The intent of the CHBC is to preserve the integrity of qualified historical buildings while provided access to and use by persons with disabilities.

The regular code(CBC Chapter 11b) shall be applied to qualified historical buildings unless strict compliance will threaten or destroy the historical significance of the building.

Most critical are life safety issues including building structure, building access and public restroom facilities.

27
Q

What information is covered in the chapters regarding structural provisions of the CBC?

A

Chapter 16 - General design criteria for structures
Chapter 17 - Testing & Inspection of materials
Chapter 18 - Soils, site, grading and foundations
Chapter 19 - Concrete

Chapter 22 - Steel
Chapter 23 - Wood

28
Q

Define Dead load vs Live Load?

A

Dead load - the weight of materials and construction incorporated into the building

Live Load - loads produced by use & occupancy of the building(Furniture, People etc). Not including natural wind, snow rain, earthquake and flood.

29
Q

What are three methods for resisting lateral forces in a structure?

A
  1. Shear wall - reinforced concrete, reinforced masonary, steel, plywood over wood studs; resists lateral forces by developing shear in its own plane(Parallel) and cantilevering from its base.
  2. Moment frame - steel or concrete, resists lateral forces by a bending action.
  3. Braced frame - steel, reinforced concrete or timber; resists lateral forces by the cross bracing.
30
Q

Describe the four occupancy categories associated with chapter 16 - Structural design of the CBC

A

Category I - low hazard to human life in the event of a failure(agricultural, temporary, storage)

Category II - Buildings not categorized by I, III, IV

Category III - Substantial hazard to human life in the event of failure ( school, prison, urgent care)

Catagory IV - Essential facilities (Hospitals, Fire & Police stations, water treatment plants) **Don’t confuse with essential services buildings

31
Q

Name 5 occupancies/uses with uniformly distributed live loads as found on table 1607.1

A
  • Assembly - Fixed seats = 60psf
  • corridors = 100psf
  • residential, R-3 = 40psf

  • Handrails and guardrails = 501bs per linear foots
32
Q

How are roof live loads determined? What are the provisions for landscape roofs?

A

Minimum live loads are based on roof slope.

Landscape roofs shall have a uniform design live load of 20psf in the landscaped area. The weight of landscaped materials shall be considered as dead load and shall be computed on the basis of saturation of the soil.

33
Q

What four factors must be taken into consideration for foundation design in regards to soil lateral loads?

A

Basement, foundation and retaining walls shall be designed to resist lateral soil loads. These elements must be designed to resist;

  • Excessive water pressure
  • Water uplift
34

Q

What are three site accessibility features to consider during project design?

A
  1. Sidewalks- minimum width 48”, max crosslope 1/4”
