Occupancy Separation and Fire-Resistive Classifications Quiz

Occupancy Separations = Requirements for different types of occupancy within the same building Mixed Occupancy = Building used for more than one type of occupancy Basic Area = The total area permitted for a specific occupancy type Accessory Uses = Minor uses within a building that do not occupy a significant area

No change in use unless compliance with new occupancy requirements = Change in use requires meeting new occupancy regulations Approval for change in building occupancy by Building Official = Building Official's permission needed for change in building use Less hazardous use allowed with proper approval = New use must be less risky based on fire and life hazards Most restrictive requirement applies to mixed occupancy buildings = Strictest rule applies to buildings with multiple occupancies

One-storey building with multiple occupancies = Each part must meet specific occupancy requirements Accessory uses limited to 10% of floor area = Building classification determined by major use New or proposed use must be less hazardous = Approval required if new use is safer Change in occupancy subject to Building Official approval = Occupancy change allowed with official consent

<p>One-Hour Fire-Resistive = Not less than one-hour fire-resistive construction Two-Hour Fire-Resistive = Not less than two-hour fire-resistive construction Three-Hour Fire-Resistive = Not less than three-hour fire-resistive construction Four-Hour Fire-Resistive = Not mentioned in the text</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Vertical = Separation between different occupancy divisions using height differences Horizontal = Separation between different occupancy divisions using different floor levels Both Vertical and Horizontal = Combination of height differences and floor levels for separation Other Forms as Required = Customized separation forms based on specific needs</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Complete separation between various occupancy divisions in a building = Occupancy Separation Protection for openings in a separation to maintain fire resistance = Fire assembly Limit on total width of openings in a specific type of occupancy separation wall = 25% of wall length in a storey Restriction on size of individual openings in certain occupancy separation walls = 10</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Three-Hour Fire-Resistive Occupancy Separation = Two-hour fire-resistive construction Four-Hour Fire-Resistive Occupancy Separation = Four-hour fire-resistive construction One-Hour Fire-Resistive Occupancy Separation = One-hour fire-resistive construction Horizontal Occupancy Separation = Equivalent fire-resistive construction</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Fire-Resistive Occupancy Separation = Protected by vertical enclosures with specific fire-resistive ratings for openings Horizontal Occupancy Separation = Structural members supporting the separation are protected by equivalent fire-resistive construction Mixed Occupancy Separation = Rules and regulations for appropriate separations promulgated by the Secretary General Occupancy Separation = No openings allowed, must be of specific fire-resistive construction</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Three-Hour Fire-Resistive Rating = Vertical enclosures with two-hour fire-resistive construction Four-Hour Fire-Resistive Rating = No openings allowed, four-hour fire-resistive construction required One-Hour Fire-Resistive Rating = Minimum requirement for certain occupancy separations Equivalent Fire-Resistive Construction = Protection of structural members in horizontal separations</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Public Space Access = Building must adjoin or have direct access to a public space, yard, or street Eaves Distance Regulation = Eaves over required windows must be at least 750 millimeters from side and rear property lines Adjacent Property Line Definition = Center line of an adjoining street or alley considered as adjacent property line Occupancy Separation Provision = Minimum one-hour fire-resistive occupancy separation required when specified</p> Signup and view all the answers
