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) 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) innovations in const. mat. / methods need to be:
2) testing agencies are used for:
3) popular method for demonstrating compliance to AHJ
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) 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) while documenting code interpretations, every project should receive a detailed:
2) all code interpretations & citations should have a:
-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
1) a site plan & floor plan should be included that describes the:
1) a recommended code room tag includes:
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) w/ known occupancy classification, location of bldg on property, & bldg height & area it's possible to determine how the code prescribes a min for:
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
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
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
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) 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) 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) 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) 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) passive fire protection system is:
2) active fire protection system is:
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) 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
