2013 CBC/IBC for R-3

2013 CBC/IBC for R-3

The way we're reading code in Section 1016 is that the overall Exit Distance is limited to 200 feet. According to Section 1014, the Common Path of Travel is limited to 75 feet. This is in a building with two (2) exits.

Are we missing anything? Thanks in advance!

Thank you!

No, the building is not sprinkled. It is a Single-family, Type V, R-3.

Hello welcome, hello

Generally single-family R-3 is exempted by the IBC and governed by the IRC. See section 101.2 in the IBC.

**helloarchitect**, ...the Common Path of Travel requirements
come from the `13 CBC, Volume 1, Table 1014.3.......Also, see
Note "e", ...this is for mixed occupancy bldgs.

The maximum Travel Distance comes from Table 1016.2, and Yes,
it is 200 ft. without sprinklers.

[helloarchitect]

Thank you! This yields 125 feet of exit access travel, on top of the 75 feet requirement for common egress. 200 feet without sprinklers.

California has amended the IRC to create its own residential code: the CRC. It applies to single family residences and duplexes.
