- It is a group A, D, E, or F occupancy that is
- more than 36m (118ft) measured between grade and the floor of the top storey
- It is a group B occupancy in which the floor level of the highest storey of the major occupancy is 18m (59ft) above grade
- It contains a Group B2 or B3 occupancy above the third storey
- It contains a Group C occupancy located more than 18m (59ft) above grade.
- It is of EMTC construction and the highest storey is more than 18m (59ft) above grade
25
Major source of building failures?
65% of litigation against architects
26
Location for mechanical equipment?
- Heat Pump
- Exhaust fan
- Rooftop Unit (RTU)
- Air handling unit
- Air cooled chiller
- Plumbing Vents
- Roof drains
26
Low slope
-Water resisting
Defined with a slope < 3:12
- Easy for maintenance/access for equipment
- Maximized space volume
27
Steep slope
-Water shedding
Defined with a slope > = 3:12
- Requires gutters
- Extensive fall protection required
28
Fall Protection
-Typical for equipment within 6.5 feet of edge of a low-slope roof
-Required on steep roofs that are accessed
29
Low slope 'Roofs'
-Minimum of 2 roof drains
-Scuppers provided at the edges of the roof for overflow
-DO NOT USE OVERFLOW ROOF DRAINS.
30
Steep 'Roofs'
* Drainage
- Gutters and downspouts
- Sized according to BCPC
* Eaves/overhangs
- any greater than (> 4ft) must be sprinklered
* Materials
- Shingles
- Sheet metal
31
Three basic structural materials
-Wood
-Steel
-Concrete
32
Types of wood in construction
* Lumber
- Directly from logs (sawing/cutting–2x4s)
* Manufactured wood
- Transformed wood fibres(plywood,
glulams, CLTs)
33
Why wood?
-Renewable material/low embodied carbon and energy inputs to produce
-Insulation/poor conductor
-Readily available in BC
34
Hardwoods
-Beech
-Oak
-Ash
35
Softwoods
-Pine
-Spruce
-Cedar
36
Moisture Content
* Free water
- Moves between cells
* Bound water
- Trapped within the cells
* (Weight of water/ weight of dry wood) x 100
* FSP
- Fibre saturation point (FSP) ~ 30%
* any < 19% is dry lumber
* any (> or = ) 20% is green lumber
37
Air Seasoning
-Natural drying
-Months
38
Kiln seasoning
-Four to five days
-Kills fungi
39
Balanced Glulams
Used for continuous/cantilever (overhang)
40
Unbalanced glulams
Lower quality (lower tensile strength on the lower portion)
41
Wood paneling
-Used for floor sheathing, roof sheathing, wall sheathing
Types:
- Veneered - plywood
- Non - veneered - OSB
42
Plywood
Typically 4x8 sheets 1/4" - 1" thick
43
OSB
-Oriented strand board
-Composed of shredded wafer thin wood strands – compressed and glued.
-Cannot be sanded, painted, or stained
44
Type R Gypsum board
Standard 1/2"
45
Type X Gypsum board
5/8" on either side of a wood member
46
MMR
Mold and Moisture Resistance
- Good for washrooms/shower areas
47
Group B occupancy
Which the floor level of the highest storey of the major occupancy is 18m (59ft) above grade
48
Group C occupancy
Located more than 18m (59ft) above grade.
