Chapter 6: Study Problem #1 Refer to the following International Building Code (IBC) Tables: Table 508.4, “Required Separation of Occupancies (Hours)” in Appendix A.11 (or Figure 6.6 in the Guidebook) IBC Table 509, “Incidental Uses” in Appendix A.12 (or Figure 6.8 in the Guidebook) IBC Table 1020.1, “Corridor Fire Resistance Rating” in Appendix A.13 (or Figure 5.11 in the Guidebook) IBC Table 716.5, “Opening Fire Protection Assemblies, Ratings and Markings” in Appendix A.14 (or Figure 6.12 in the Guidebook) Also, use the “Comparison of Occupancy Classifications” chart in Appendix A.1 as required. Figure 6.1 is a floor plan of the eighth floor in a 10 story nonsprinklered office building. It shows the layout of the building core and five tenant spaces, as well as the interior of one tenant space. The tenants are either Business (B) or Mercantile (M) occupancies, as shown on the plan. The legend at the bottom of the floor plan indicates the name of each labeled room or space. Specific wall assemblies on the floor plan are labeled with a circled letter designation, and certain doors (or opening protectives) are labeled with a circled number designation. Based on the floor plan, the IBC tables mentioned earlier, and your knowledge of the codes, first determine the fire resistance rating for each of the labeled wall assemblies. Then, for each of the labeled opening protectives, determine the fire protection rating of the door assembly. Also note any situations where an automatic extinguishing system could be substituted for a rated wall. Write your answers and the code table used in the spaces provided here. If a rating is not required for a particular item, write “no rating” in the space provided; or if a code table is not used, write “no table” in the space provided.
