| Question | Answer |
| 1) code language usually arises from a: 2) italicized type in the code highlights what: | 1) specific issue the code writer wishes to address based on experience or actual const. or life safety issue 2) to refer back to the definitions page, designer shouldn't assume meaning of terms is the same as everyday speech |
| 1) in the code, a solid vertical line in the margins indicate: 2) an arrow in the margin indicates: 3) a single asterisk [*] in the margin indicates: 4) a double asterisk [**] in the margin indicates: | 1) a text change from the last code edition 2) a deletion in the section 3) that text or a table has been relocated w/in the code 4) the text or table immediately following it has been relocated there from elsewhere in the code |
| ALTERNATIVE MEANS & METHODS 104.11 1) states - the provisions of this code aren't intended to prevent the installation of any mat. or to prohibit any design/method of const. not specifically prescribed by this code - what is the purpose of this? | 1) the code recognizes there may be many different ways of solving the same design problems, recognizes innovations of ex bldg types don't always fit into prescribed classifications, & innovations in mat. / const. technology may happen faster than code revisions occur |
| 1) deviations from prescribed standards must: 2) the alt to be approved is when "the proposed design is satisfactory & complies w/ intent of provisions of this code, & that the mat., method, or work offered is, for intended purpose, NOT" : | 1) be submitted for review & approval of the bldg official 2) "less than the equivalent of that prescribed in the code in quality, strength, effectiveness, fire resistance, durability, & safety" |
| 1) innovations in const. mat. / methods need to be: 2) testing agencies are used for: 3) popular method for demonstrating compliance to AHJ | 1) evaluated for code compliance 2) performing standardized tests on new products 3) through the use of ICC Evaluation Service reports (nonprofit) who does technical evaluations of bldg products, components, methods, mat. |
| 1) during plan review by the AHJ, it is the designer's responsibility to: 2) when differences about code interpretations occur btwn AHJ & designer: | 1) demonstrate code compliance & to modify noncompliant areas identified while continuing to meet the project req. 2) the designer must work w/ the AHJ to reconcile the intent of the design to the interpretations of the intent of the code |
| 1) if code interpretation reconciliation cannot be reached the designer: 2) for appeals, the AHJ can be requested to apply: 3) appeals to the ICC are allowed by: | 1) must either revise the project to obtain approval or appeal the ruling of the AHJ to some civic body prescribed in the jurisdiction for hearing appeals 2) to the model-code agency that published the code for a ruling of publisher's opinion 3) ICC members (designers should become a member for this reason) |
| 1) while documenting code interpretations, every project should receive a detailed: 2) all code interpretations & citations should have a: | 1) code analysis that is recorded as a permanent part of the permit docs 2) reference to the code section in question |
| -at a min, code analysis should contain: PROPOSED CONDITION 1) occupancy classification 2) fire protection 3) bldg height (feet/stories) 4) bldg area 5) type of construction 6) means of egress | ALLOWED-CODE/CODE SECTION-TABLE 1) select from ch3 / ch3 2) select per occupancy / ch9 3) allowed-proposed type/tables 504.3-4 4) select per const. type / table 506.2 5) determine from design / ch 5, 6, 7 6) select per occupancy / ch10 |
| 1) a site plan & floor plan should be included that describes the: | 1) location of the bldg on th eproperty & any height area or const. type credits or req. related to location on site & proximity to streets & other structures, egress req. like exit access widths, quantities, locations, exit discharge paths to the public way |
| 1) a recommended code room tag includes: | 1) room number / room name / occupancy group per IBC ch3 / area - SF "gross" or "net" per IBC ch2 / occ. load factor per IBC table 1004.1.2 / # of occ. (area x OLF) / door width (at least 32" clear) |
| 1) elements req. to determine how the code should apply to a project are a given from the: 2) occupancy classification is from: 3) location of bldg on property is from: 4) bldg height & area is from: | 1) program & the site or zoning constraints 2) the client determining what functions they want 3) determined by bldg footprint, zoning, natural features, etc 4) the given scope of project, designer notes how large bldg needs to be w/ how many floors |
| 1) w/ known occupancy classification, location of bldg on property, & bldg height & area it's possible to determine how the code prescribes a min for: | 1) -const. type (based on calcs) -exit locations & quantities -exit access widths -exit discharge to a public way |
| PROCEDURE SUMMARY OF USING IBC 1) classify bldg according to occupancy, type of const., location on property, floor area, height, & number of stories 2) review req. for fire sprinkler protection 3) review bldg for conformity w/ type-of-const. req. in relation to desired/ allowable bldg heights & plan areas | 4) review effects on the bldg based on location on bldg site 5) review bldg for conformity w/ egress req.'s 6) review the bldg for other detailed code req.'s 7) review the bldg for conformity w/ structural engineering reg's & req.'s for mat. of const. |
| 1) occupancy classification - determine the occ. group that the use of the bldg most nearly resembles, comput the floor area & occ. load 2) sprinkler systems - determine the occ. req. to be protected & identify thresholds, determine if anticipated height of bldg req.'s fire sprinklers | 3) type of const. - determine the req. min type of const. based on occ., fire protection, & designed height/area, this dictates mat.'s used & fire-resistance of the parts of the bldg as limited 4) allowable floor area - determine it, use the basic allowable floor area based on occupancy group & type of const., determine for multistory bldgs & allowable increases based on location on prop. & if there is installation of approved auto fire-sprinkler system |
| 5) height & number of stories - compute height of bldg & determine # of stories, the max height & # of stories permitted based on occ. group & type of const., allowable height & story increase based on installation of approved auto fire-sprinkler system | 6) location on property - determine location of bldg on site & clearances to lot lines & other bldgs from plot plan, determine fire-resistance req.'s for exterior walls/ wall-opening req.'s based on fire-separation distances to lot lines 7) means of egress - determine req.'s for means of egress from the bldg |
| 1) projects are almost invariably defined for the designer based on: 2) codes are fundamentally based on: 3) what are examples of fire extinguishing systems used in many new bldgs? | 1) occupancy type - each has specific req.'s related to allowable area, height, & existing w/ potential const. types growing out of these req.'s 2) use (occupancy) = 1st basic classification 3) fire sprinklers, standpipes, fire detection, & fire alarm systems |
| 1) when can trade-offs be used like w/ use of an auto fire sprinkler system? 2) the idea of a trade-off recognizes that this is a mitigation measure over & abv: 3) const. types are typ categorized by: | 1) only apply when the systems are not otherwise req.'d by the local code 2) basic code req.'s to achieve the desired level of safety through other means than those spelled out in basic code 3) mat.'s based on their resistance to fire in structural applications |
| 1) const. type gives indication of amt of time available for: 2) more fire-resistant const. types are allowed to be of: 3) typ allowable occupancy quantities & const. costs will both: | 1) evacuation of occupants, for fire fightings, & for emeergency response under fire conditions 2) larger areas & have more stories 3) decrease w/ bldg type from Type I to Type V |
| 1) once occupancy classification & const. type are known you can est: 2) certain types of const. are limited in size based on: 3) the allowable number of floors is typ tied closely to: 4) do not confuse (___) w/ height definitions & limits of those in bldg code | 1) allowable area for each floor 2) occupancy & concentration of ppl 3) allowable area by const. type or by planning codes b/c of public policy not technical reasons 4) zoning height def. & limits |
| 1) a means of egress consists of 3 components: 2) specific req.'s for egress exist for: 3) when do codes req. fire-rated partitions separating occupancy? 4) rated partitions are req. w/ shaft protection when related to: | 1) an exit access, exit, & an exit discharge 2) size, spacing, & travel distances, such as floor plans, doors, corridors, stairs 3) when bldgs have mixed occupancies 4) occupancy, bldg type, bldg height b/c smoke, heat, flames in a fire can travel btwn floors through stairs, elevators, mech shafts |
| 1) passive fire protection system is: 2) active fire protection system is: | 1) built into the structure, either inherent in the mat. or added as part of protective membranes - ex steel (non-combustible) vs wood 2) where a fire causes a reaction in a system that serves to combat the fire - ex sprinklers activate & extinguish fires before reaching passive protections |
| FIRE-RESISTANCE STANDADS INCLUDE: 1) "structure hour rating" req.'s for the time it takes: 2) "area of occupancy separation rating" req.'s for time it takes for fire to: 3) "flame spread & smoke generation" req.'s for how long it takes for fire to: | 1) for a fire to weaken a structural element to the point of failure - mins based on providing time for fire-fighting & evacuation operations to occur w/out putting ppl in danger 2) penetrate wall partition, floor or roof assembly 3) move along the surface of a bldg mat. & how much smoke is generated |
| 1) large portion of code devoted to engineering req.'s, one basis is structural adequacy of bldgs for both: 2) req.'s for structural (___) are contained in the code | 1) static loading like occupants & equip. & dynamic loading like earthquakes, snow, wind 2) structural mat.'s & systems |
