Refer to the following International Building Code IBC Tables:
Table "Required Separation of Occupancies Hours in Appendix A
or Figure in the Guidebook
IBC Table "Incidental Uses" in Appendix Aor Figure in the Guidebook
IBC Table "Corridor FireResistance Rating" in Appendix Aor Figure in
the Guidebook
IBC Table "Opening Fire Protection Assemblies, Ratings and Markings" in
Appendix Aor Figure in the Guidebook
Also, use the "Comparison of Occupancy Classifications" chart in Appendix A
as required.
Figure is a floor plan of the eighth floor in a 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 sub
stituted 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.
