I am new to the building code, and wanted to see if anyone can provide guidance on determining the type of construction given a set of as-builts.
Occupancy: B
Stories: 2
Story Height: 20' (lower), 18' (upper)
Floor Area: 35,000 sf/floor
Vertical system: Combination of r/c, precast concrete panels, steel column
Horizontal system: slab-on-grade, concrete on metal deck (floor) and metal deck on steel beams (roof)
Fully sprinklered
I am missing architectural general notes. Interior partitions have 1 hour rated partitions on specific areas within the building. I don't see anything about additional protection on structural members in terms of fire resistance. Would this be geared towards Type IIB or IB? I read somewhere that if roof is non-combustible, then it falls under Type I.
I greatly appreciate any advice as I have just started learning the code.
