Study Notes
Margin Distances in Building Codes
- Group Housing with Internal Roads: Minimum front margin is 3 meters.
Building Margin Calculation
- Side/Rear Margins: Calculated as H/5, where H is the building height.
Redevelopment Margins (Buildings > 30 Years Old)
- Heights up to 45m: Allowed marginal distance is 6 meters.
Recreational Open Space Margins
- Non-special buildings: Minimum margin is 3 meters from recreational open space.
Reduced Margins for Rooms Without Light/Ventilation
- Special Buildings: Marginal distance can be reduced to 6 meters.
Maximum Side Margin
- H/5 Formula: Maximum side margin is 12 meters.
Step Margin Applicability
- Step margins: Apply only to upper floors (not ground level, parking, or lower floors).
Minimum Ground Level Margins (Special Buildings, Congested Areas)
- Congested Areas: 6 meters.
Special Building Margin Reductions
- Dead Walls: Reduces marginal distance to 6 meters for special buildings.
Recreational Space Margins (Special Buildings)
- Recreational Spaces: Marginal distance for special buildings is 6 meters.
