![**Problem:**
A two-story bank is constructed with reinforced masonry walls, and the floor and structural framework consists of reinforced concrete and steel. The roof is composed of timber. A sprinkler system has been installed. The building has dimensions L by 0.5L. The plan view of the building and frontage area are shown below:
[Diagram Description: The diagram shows a rectangular building area with dimensions 30 ft (length) by 20 ft (width). Surrounding this is a dashed line representing the frontage area, with additional space of 18 ft at the top, 10 ft at the right, and unspecified space at the left and bottom.]
**Questions:**
a) What are the construction type and occupancy group of this building? Assume the construction type corresponds to unprotected B (e.g., Type IB, Type IIB, etc.).
b) What is the maximum permissible height and number of stories this building is allowed to be under the IBC guidelines?
c) Calculate the frontage factor.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc02cea10-2b20-4726-bfe2-8f9101f448fb%2F4947b148-d665-4b5c-8d75-af5dbef1b1a3%2Fl6whwc_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
