BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TYPES FIRE

12/10/2019



 
 1. Ifsta Building Construction Types
 2. Building Construction Types Fire

Note: In addition to how the building type affects fire behavior and
ventilation, fire code requirements drive many building features that affect
ladder company tactics. Specifically, many municipalities follow Universal
Building Code and NFPA 101 as it relates to building code provisions. Let’s now
address what ladder crews should know about each building type. Type 1:
Fire-Resistive Type 1 structures are high-rises, and they’re the stoutest of all
construction types when exposed to fire.
High-rises are usually defined as buildings more than 75 feet tall, with some
agencies making amendments for buildings that are 35–55 feet tall. Native
Advertisement Type 1 structures are constructed of concrete and protected steel
(steel coated with a fire-resistant material, most often a concrete mixture),
and are designed to hold fire for an extended amount of time in order to keep
the fire at bay in the room and/or floor of origin. As far as the typical
ventilation operation of getting on the roof and cutting a hole, that’s not
really an option when dealing with Type 1 construction. Even horizontal
ventilation becomes challenging, as the windows are thick, tempered glass and
may not be an efficient way to ventilate the structure. Ladder companies must be
aggressive in securing the stairwells for both firefighters and victims
evacuating the structure.
If the structure meets building code, it will be equipped with self-pressurizing
stairwells and have HVAC systems that will aid in air movement. If necessary,
the ladder company may need to mechanically pressurize the stairwells using a
series of fans strategically placed at the base of the stairwell and every 10–12
floors depending on the effectiveness of the fans. The fire protection and
fire-related systems in these buildings are overwhelming, so crews should make
it a priority to locate a maintenance worker and keep them close throughout the
incident. Type 1 structures are easy to identify on height alone.
It’s important for firefighters to know their city’s building codes, as this may
affect which features are found inside the structures. Ladder crews should
frequent Type 1 buildings in their area and be familiar with the systems that
they may encounter (elevators, HVAC, fire pumps, etc). Finally, they must not
forget to maintain good working relationships with the maintenance workers at
these buildings. Type 2: Non-Combustible Type 2 construction is typically found
in new buildings and remodels of commercial structures.
The walls and roofs are constructed of non-combustible materials. Specifically,
walls are usually reinforced masonry or tilt slab, while roofs have metal
structural members and decking. The top of these roofs are often covered with
lightweight concrete, foam, an insulated membrane or a combination of these
materials.
Because most of these buildings are newer builds, they’re usually up to code and
include fire suppression systems. And because metal roofs may fail with heat—not
just from direct fire—expect early collapse, especially in some of the bigger
buildings that have a substantial fire load. Firefighters should suspect Type 2
construction in newer commercial structures (both big box buildings and strip
malls). A good habit to practice: sounding the walls to determine whether
they’re made of a combustible material. When on the roof, ladder crews should
cut an inspection hole to identify the decking material. Once a metal roof has
been confirmed, the rooftop crew should consider opening skylights or resorting
to natural ventilation in the form of large roll-up doors that are often found
in the rear of the big-box structures. Common ventilation tools (chainsaws and
circular saws) may simply not be efficient enough for cutting large holes on the
roof to support ventilation for interior crews, as a circular saw will often cut
through only small areas of metal and “gum up” with insulation, or the blade
will wear out quickly.
Type 3: Ordinary Type 3 buildings can be of either new or old construction, and
they have non-combustible walls and a wood roof. Older construction buildings
may consist of unreinforced masonry and have a conventionally framed roof, while
newer buildings will have lightweight roof systems supported by reinforced
masonry or tilt slab. The most common types of roof systems in a commercial
setting of Type 3 construction include parallel cord truss and panelized roof
systems. To identify if a building is of an older style, firefighters should
look for clues, such as collar ties, king’s rows and arched lintels.
If operating on one of these buildings, firefighters should be suspect of
conventionally framed materials that may be weathered, built-up roofs or
roof-on-top-of-roof systems. If it is determined that the roof is tenable, a
ladder company should be able to effectively use chainsaws to ventilate the
building and make the appropriate cuts based on the type of roof system. If
approaching a building with no signs of unreinforced masonry, firefighters
should sound the walls to determine wall type before going to the roof. Once on
top, they should be able to identify the roof system and make an aggressive
ventilation operation using saws. Newer construction uses truss systems in both
panelized and parallel cord truss roof types that are known to fail rapidly and
unexpectedly with direct fire impingement.
As such, ladder companies should sacrifice some property for time and make vent
holes over smoke, not fire. Whether conventional or lightweight, vertical
ventilation on Type 3 construction is feasible and can be very effective. But
safety is paramount; crews should always remain on ledger walls or structural
members. Sounding and diagnostic cuts are effective ways to not only ensure the
location of the structural members but also to allow the ventilation crew to
monitor the roof conditions and act accordingly. Type 4: Heavy Timber Type 4
construction is found in older buildings and utilizes large dimensional lumber
for structural members and interior elements. These buildings hold up well under
fire conditions, but it’s critical that firefighters not feel a false sense of
security, as these buildings are often poorly maintained, or have termites
and/or weathering issues that can contribute to an earlier-than-expected
collapse. Firefighters can identify these buildings by the large lumber used for
walls and the long distance of roof spans.
These buildings were most commonly built before 1960, when bolts and metal
plates were used as connectors. Vertical ventilation may be achieved on these
buildings, but sawyers may encounter thicker-than-expected decking that may make
for a longer completion of a ventilation hole. Type 5: Wood-Framed Type 5
construction is found in many modern homes. The walls and roofs are made of
combustible materials—most commonly wood. If the walls are wood-framed, the roof
usually is as well. Rooftops are ceramic tile or asphalt shingles placed over
lightweight trusses and OSB.
Both UL and NIST studies have found that lightweight construction will fail
within minutes of direct fire impingement. Firefighters should sound the walls
prior to going to the rooftop. Whether operating on tile or asphalt rooftops,
alternatives to rooftop ventilation should be considered if there is heavy attic
involvement. If fire is isolated to a room, flashover (not collapse) is the main
concern, and aggressive ventilation is beneficial.
Because the roofs are made of wood, ventilation can occur through the asphalt
shingles, but tiles should be removed first if encountered. Positive-pressure
attack is another tool that may prove beneficial for Type 5 construction. In Sum
Building construction types are truly the building blocks of how we operate on
the fireground. By breaking structures into the five different building types,
we can see the similarities and differences among them, and which factors
influence how we ventilate different structures.
Also, one of the biggest hurdles to combat on the fireground is communication.
If your ladder company can’t operate on the roof, the reason why should be
immediately communicated to the rest of the fireground. The ability to ventilate
(or not ventilate) a structure often drives the outcome of the fire attack. If
ladder companies are unable to operate on top of the fire building due to
collapse potential or inability to ventilate, then the incident commander will
need to determine if interior crews should be operating inside the building at
all. Randy Frassetto has worked for the City of Surprise (Ariz.) Fire Department
since 2001 and was promoted to captain in 2005. Surprise Fire is part of the
Northwest Valley Firefighters Local 4361.
Frassetto has been assigned to Ladder Company 305 for most of his career and he
chairs the Arizona Ladder Operations Cadre, which represents most fire
departments/districts in the state. This Ladder Cadre was developed to
standardize ladder work and further training and research as it pertains to
ladder company operations in the state. Frassetto is a member of the IAFC.

Sometime early in a firefighter’s career—usually as part of fire school—building
construction is touted to be one of the most important things firefighters
should be aware of in their new trade. They learn how to date a building,
predict collapse tendencies and patterns, determine fire severity from smoke
factors and, as this article addresses, how to best ventilate the structure.
Buildings are broken down into five categories (Types 1–5), ranging from the
stoutest of construction to that which will most likely fail rapidly when under
fire conditions. Each building type has specific characteristics that ladder
companies must be familiar with so that they are able to ventilate the building
in the safest and most efficient way possible.
A building is best identified during preplanning, but there are distinct
features that will help firefighters identify the building type as they pull up
on scene. There are also several diagnostic techniques that ladder companies can
use when they’re up close and personal with a building. Note: In addition to how
the building type affects fire behavior and ventilation, fire code requirements
drive many building features that affect ladder company tactics. Specifically,
many municipalities follow Universal Building Code and NFPA 101 as it relates to
building code provisions.

How building class is determined: All buildings must be classified into one of
six construction classes (see number 3). Classification of a building class is
based on two factors: building elements and fire-resistance rating. These
factors may not be included in the submission/documentation, in which case
additional information will need to be requested. Building elements: The
building materials used in the construction of the following elements are the
foundation for classification, be they wood, steel, or masonry. Structural
frame. Exterior bearing walls.
Interior bearing walls. Exterior nonbearing walls and partitions. Interior
non-bearing walls and partitions. Floor construction, including supporting beams
and joists.
Roof construction, including supporting beams and joists, are comprised of.
Fire-resistance rating: This is the other factor in determining construction
class.
The building materials used in the construction of the building elements above
will have a fire-resistance rating. Fire-resistance rating typically means the
duration for which a passive fire protection system can withstand a standard
fire resistance test. This can be quantified simply as a measure of time (ex. 0
hours, 1 hour, or 2 hours), or it may entail a host of other criteria involving
other evidence of functionality or fitness for purpose.
“Minimum” rule: It is important to remember when selecting the construction
class that the building is only as strong as its weakest element. For example, a
masonry building may have an unprotected wood roof. The wood roof is the weakest
member such that it has no fire-resistance. Thus, the construction class would
be Joisted Masonry (see below).
Now imagine this same building with a metal deck roof. So long as the supporting
members of the building do not contain wood then this building would be Masonry
Noncombustible (see below). International Building Code (IBC) versus Insurance
Services Office (ISO): These are two major sources identifying construction
types, both of which will be addressed in the construction types outlined below.
ISO is traditionally what insurance companies use to denote type, whereas IBC is
what architects and builders use. While one company may use ISO classifications,
many submission documents may reference IBC classifications and it is important
to be able to convert this to an ISO classification. (There have been situations
where a frame building has been incorrectly classified as fire resistive because
the submittal was read incorrectly!) The following explains what is expected
under both:. International Building Code (IBC): This is a model building code
developed by the International Code Council (ICC).
It has been adopted throughout most of the United States. A large portion of the
International Building Code deals with fire prevention. It differs from the
related International Fire Code in that the IBC handles fire prevention in
regards to construction and design and the fire code handles fire prevention in
an ongoing basis. Parts of the code reference other codes including the
International Plumbing Code, the International Mechanical Code, the National
Electric Code, and various National Fire Protection Association Standards. IBC
is more descriptive and also includes A or B types of construction for each
class. A is protected, meaning that all structural members of a building or
structure have an additional fire rated coating or cover by means of sheetrock,
spray on, or other approved method. The additional fire rated coating or cover
extends the fire resistance of the structural members by at least 1 hour.
B is unprotected, meaning that all structural members of a building or structure
have no additional fire rated coating or cover. Exposed members are only fire
resistant according to their natural ability, characteristics, and fire rating.
Insurance Services Office (ISO): This is a provider of data, underwriting, risk
management, and legal/regulatory services to property-casualty insurers and
other clients.
In last month’s column (FireRescue, August 2009, “Warning Signs,” p. 116), I
discussed two fundamental subjects that every fire department should cover in
its training programs: fire behavior and building construction. Last month, I
focused on flashover, which is just one small segment of fire behavior. This
month, I want to follow up by talking a little about building construction.
Firefighters encounter thousands of buildings of every imaginable type. Some are
hundreds of years old and some are brand-new, using the latest in engineering,
construction techniques and building materials that we have little experience
with under fire conditions. The point: No matter how much knowledge and
experience we have about building construction, there’s always more to know
because it’s always changing. The more we know, the more we need to know. Start
with the Basics Volumes are written on building construction as it relates to
the fire service, but just reading books won’t teach you about your response
area. Cities are a mix of different construction types, each with their own
special set of problems. As such, every firefighter should have a sound
knowledge of each type and their inherent dangers.
Most buildings can be classified as one of five basic types. Wood frame (Type
1);. Heavy timber/mill (Type 2);. Ordinary (Type 3);. Noncombustible (Type 4);
or. Fire-resistive (Type 5).
One of the most difficult concepts to teach firefighters about construction
types is that although every building should be able to fit into one of these
types, it’s also common to find features of multiple construction types in one
building. This is especially true with new construction or buildings that have
been renovated.
Native Advertisement When building construction is your training topic, always
start by ensuring that your crew knows and understands the fundamentals of each
type of construction, as well as how each type may incorporate features from
other types. Not So Ordinary This month’s drill will focus on ordinary
construction, also called Type 3.
A general definition of ordinary construction: a building featuring exterior
masonry walls and combustible interior beams or truss. Although it’s not the
most often used building type today, Type 3 construction has been used a great
deal for commercial buildings built in the last 2 centuries. Ordinary
construction is Main Street USA. You can find some form of it in just about any
city in the country, from old schools made of hand-cut stone walls with simple
beams that span the width of the building, to new strip malls with pre-cast
blocks and lightweight engineered wood trusses. Techniques used to construct
these buildings vary greatly from one part of the country to another because of
the building materials used. Older Type 3 buildings still in use today were
built using local materials easily accessible to the builders.
Ordinary construction buildings have a long history of difficult fires. As well
as the combustible nature of the construction, you’ll often find a very heavy
fire load in these buildings. Here are a few discussion points to cover about
ordinary construction at drill time. Just like in a balloon frame house or
really any wood-frame building, Type 3 buildings feature lots of void spaces
created by the construction process. Combustible void spaces between floors and
in the attic are places where fire can go undetected and be difficult to reach.
Masonry Walls. The load-bearing exterior masonry has a huge potential for
collapse.
Don’t put a lot of faith in rules of thumb concerning time limits when operating
in these structures. If operating defensively, pay close attention to apparatus
placement and deployment of crews in flanking positions outside the collapse
zone. The masonry walls serve both to carry the load of the building and prevent
fire extension into adjoining buildings. But don’t trust these walls to hold the
fire. Over time, the walls will start to deteriorate, allowing the fire to find
places to pass though. Renovation: Buildings are changed to meet the needs of
the occupants.
Each time we see a building under renovation, changes are being made from its
original design that may affect the way the building will react under fire
conditions. Example: lowering or dropping of ceiling heights. If the building
code doesn’t require ceilings to be removed, most owners will choose to leave
them in place to avoid the cost of removal. Multiple ceiling areas are perfect
places for fire to extend into and grow overhead while crews operate below,
unaware of the growing danger. These drop-ceiling areas are also very difficult
to open up if fire has extended into them.


IFSTA BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TYPES

Make sure your crews have the right tools and equipment to face this issue—and
the training to support them. Drill 1: A Typical Review. Discuss each type of
building classification (1 to 5) and the method of construction for each. Review
the inherent dangers associated with each construction type during fireground
operations. In your response area, identify buildings that can be classified in
each of the types. Drill 2: Focus on the Ordinary. Review the basic definition
of a Type 3 (ordinary) building as it relates to the fire service.
Working off a good photograph or in front of an actual Type 3 building in your
area, have each member identify five features on the building that could lead to
problems. Examples: lintels made of steel or wood, eccentric loading such as
canopies, existing wall cracks or cast-iron building fronts. With the entire
company, review indicators of possible collapse.
Also discuss apparatus placement and where collapse safety zones should be set
up to protect personnel. Conclusion There are many aspects of ordinary
construction that firefighters must understand to be ready to face the next
incident in a Type 3 building.


BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TYPES FIRE

Make sure you take the time to study and reinforce their book knowledge with
good company-level training on building construction. Use your time out on the
streets to identify and preplan the Type 3 buildings in your response area.
