What is the primary purpose of occupancy classification in building design?
Correct!
Wrong!
Occupancy classification determines the building’s use and dictates code requirements for safety, egress, and construction type.
Which factor most directly influences fire-resistance requirements in a building?
Correct!
Wrong!
Fire-resistance ratings are influenced by occupancy group and construction type, which affect fire spread potential.
What is the function of egress components in a building?
Correct!
Wrong!
Means of egress provide a safe path for occupants to exit the building during emergencies like fires.
Why is structural load analysis important in building design?
Correct!
Wrong!
Load analysis ensures the building can safely support all expected loads, including dead, live, and environmental loads.
Which element is most relevant when designing for accessibility?
Correct!
Wrong!
Door width, along with clear floor space and hardware, plays a vital role in ensuring accessibility for all users.
What role do fire-rated assemblies play in building planning?
Correct!
Wrong!
Fire-rated assemblies help compartmentalize a structure, slowing the spread of fire and allowing safe evacuation.
