1 The Building Code for Rookies Or Basic Steps for Using the 7 Ohio Building Code Chapters - Or All the building code stuff you forgot to ask about in college and probably didn t have time for anyway AIA Ohio is a registered provider with the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems. Credit earned on completion of this program will be reported to CES Records for AIA Members. Certificates of Completion are available for non-members are available on request. This program is registered with the AIA/CES for continuing professional education. As such., it does not include content that may be deemed or construed to be an approval or endorsement by the AIA of any material of construction or any method or manner of handling, using, distributing, or dealing in any material or product. Questions related to specific materials, methods, and services will be addressed at the conclusion of the program. Contact: Terry Welker AIA Chief Building Official City of Kettering Phone: terry.welker@ketteringoh.org Learning Objectives Origin & Organization of the Building Code Basic Principles Balancing Risk Seven Easy Steps Rules of the Game (Chapter ) Definitions (Chapter ) Classifying Use & Occupancy (Chapters 3 & 4) Height & Area Limits (Chapter 5) Identifying Construction Types (Chapter 6) Using Fire Resistant Construction (Chapter 7) Bonus - Fire Protection Systems (Chapter 9) Sacred Ground - Means of Egress (Chapter ) Building codes: How to look like a hero You or your firm principal may be the design professional in responsible charge responsible to the Owners, Investors and the Public. You can have better design quality control Better understanding of design options for cost control Insure public health safety and welfare Control liability The Building Official, Plans Examiner and Building Inspectors are a resource, not your quality control system You can save time and money for your firm and clients Better design decisions early in the project cycle Fewer revisions because of misinformation Faster turnaround time for building permits Origin of the Ohio Building Code Based on Model Code The 6 International Building Code Three Year Code Cycle OBC adoption follows the IBC adoption The Ohio Board of Building Standards Primarily modifies Chapter - Administration Attempts to not change the intent nor primary contents of the model code, only to clarify some conflicts, omissions or references The Ohio changes are italicized

2 Balancing Risk: People & Property Who are the users? How many? What are they doing? Work, play, eat, sleep, worship etc. What things/materials are there? What are the hazards? Human behavior Fire, smoke, water, gravity, etc. How does the building support these behaviors safely? How does the building mitigate the hazards? What happens when things go wrong? Seven Easy Steps. Determine Use and Occupancy (Chapter 3). Determine height, area and building location (Your design premise and Chapter 5) 3. Determine Construction Type (Table 53 & Chapter 6) 4. Determine materials and fire resistance (Chapter 7) 5. Determine any special use and occupancy (Chapter 4) 6. Determine existing building issues (Chapter 34) 7. Review each section of the OBC for applicable requirements Chapter : Administration Rules of the Game - Scope & Intent - Referenced Codes 3 - Building Departments 5 - Approvals 6 - Construction Documents - Certificate of Occupancy - Appeals 3 - Violations Reference Codes:.4 Ohio Mechanical Code Ohio Plumbing Code National Electric Code Ohio Fire Code Boiler Code Pressure Piping Code Int l Fuel Gas Code ASHRAE 9.

Example Story Medical Office Building First Floor =,sf Second Floor = 8,sf 5 ft. What is the minimum Construction Type? What are the Construction Type options? 5A: protected construction; may cause difficulties integrating systems Type 4: Heavy timber (uncommon) 3B: Exterior walls must be fire rated (Table 6) B: Noncombustible construction Is Fire Suppression required or optional? No for the above choices Yes for 5B construction because the sprinkler increase must be used 5 ft. 8 ft. 5 ft. 5 ft. ft. Are any area increases available? Frontage increase: No: See 56. and subsections Even though the building is open on four sides, less than 5% faces Main Street and the side yards are less than feet wide; even though the rear yard is 5 wide it can t be used for frontage increase because the 5 ft. fire lane is less than ft. wide Automatic Sprinkler System Increase For type 5B a % increase in the tabular area per floor is allowed 8 ft. 5 ft. 5 ft. ft. 6

7 Example Story Medical Office Building First Floor =,sf Second Floor = 8,sf What is the Total Allowable Area for the Minimum Construction Type? Choose Type 5B Construction The Tabular Area of 9sf can be increased % Therefore the allowable area per floor is 7,sf and automatic sprinklers are required if this construction type is used SPRINKLER BONUS: No rated corridors! One open stair! 5 ft. 5 ft. 8 ft. 5 ft. 5 ft. ft. Next Steps. Determine materials and fire resistance (Chapter 7) In this case the fully sprinklered building interior and exterior walls are not required to be fire resistance rated (Tables 6 and 6). Fire partitions (78) for the corridors have a fire resistance rating (Table 4.3..) Incidental use or accessory use areas must also be sprinklered.. Determine any special use and occupancy (Chapter 4) Check Section 44 for Atrium requirements 3. Determine existing building issues (Chapter 34) There are no existing buildings in this example 4. Review each section of the OBC for applicable requirements Chapter - Determine Occupant Loads; at least exits required Sprinkler bonus: in this case one interior stair can be open! (5.3.) Each Chapter may have criteria important to your project Chapter 7: Fire-Resistance-Rated Construction Exterior Walls Fire Walls Fire Barriers Shaft Enclosures Fire Partitions Smoke Barriers Smoke Partitions Horizontal Assemblies Penetrations & Joints Opening Protectives Concealed Spaces Definitions FIRE AREA. The aggregate floor area enclosed and bounded by fire walls, fire barriers, exterior walls or fire-resistance-rated horizontal assemblies of a building. FIRE WALL A fire-resistance-rated wall having protected openings, which restricts the spread of fire and extends continuously from the foundation to or through the roof, with sufficient structural stability under fire conditions to allow collapse of construction on either side without collapse of the wall. FIRE BARRIER. A fire-resistance-rated vertical or horizontal assembly of materials designed to restrict the spread of fire in which openings are protected. FIRE PARTITION. A vertical assembly of materials designed to restrict the spread of fire in which openings are protected. SMOKE BARRIER. A continuous membrane, either vertical or horizontal, such as a wall, floor, or ceiling assembly, that is designed and constructed to restrict the movement of smoke. Exterior Walls: Fire Resistance Functions To prevent the spread of fire between buildings To prevent the spread of fire between stories in a single building Fire Walls: Fire Resistance Functions: Fire walls are used to create separate buildings All provisions of the code are applied to each building Structural stability Structural independence Fire resistance 7

8 Fire Barriers: Fire Resistance Functions Used to create separate Fire Areas Multiple applications: Separate mixed occupancies and incidental uses Create areas of refuge Separate shafts and exit enclosures Lower level of protection than a fire wall Shaft Enclosures Purpose is to minimize the passage of smoke and fire through vertical openings that connect two or more stories Fire resistance rated with protected openings A number of practical exceptions Penetrations - 7 Specific requirements for maintaining the integrity of the fire resistance rated assembly Through-penetrations firestop (TPFS) systems Membrane penetrations Electrical boxes and sprinkler heads Horizontal assemblies Non-fire-resistance-rated assemblies Combustible and noncombustible requirements Opening Protectives - 75 Fire Doors and Frames Smoke and Draft Control Doors Fire-protection-rated glazing Wired Glass Chapter 8: Interior Finishes Chapter9: Fire Protection Systems 8

Where two exits or exit access doorways are required, from any portion of the exit access, the exit doors or exit access doorways shall be placed a distance apart equal to not less than one-half of the length of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of the building or area to be served measured in a straight line between exit doors or exit access doorways. See exceptions. Exit Access 6 Travel Distance 6. Exit access travel distance. Exits shall be so located that the maximum length of exit access travel, measured from the most remote point to the entrance to an exit along the natural and unobstructed path of egress travel, shall not exceed the distances given in Table 6. Table 6. 8 & 9 Exits 8. General. An exit shall not be used for any purpose that interferes with its function as a means of egress. Once a given level of exit protection is achieved, such level of protection shall not be reduced until arrival at the exit discharge. 9. Minimum number of exits. Table 9. Table 9. Minimum number of exits for occupant load Exits Vertical Exit Enclosures (Stairways). Vertical exit enclosures. Interior exit stairways shall be enclosed.
