IBC 2006 – Chapter 5 General Building Heights & Areas

Building Heights and Areas: 

Building Heights and Areas Table 503 – Tabular values Allowable height and area depends on Group Type construction Overall size is based on the specific fuel load and fire hazard associated with both the occupancy and the materials used to construct the building

Table 503Allowable Height and Building Areas: 

Table 503 Allowable Height and Building Areas

Building Heights and Areas: 

Building Heights and Areas Height from the grade plane. Maximum number of stories applies only to stories above grade. A basement is a story above grade plane when the finished surface of the floor above the basement is: More than 6 feet (1829 mm) above grade plane; More than 12 feet (3658 mm) above the finished ground level at any point.

Building Heights and Areas: 

Building Heights and Areas Buildings on the same lot (503.1.2) Separate buildings Portions of the same building

Area Modifications (506): 

Area Modifications (506) (Equation 5-1) where Aa = Allowable area per story (sq ft) At = Tabular area per story in per Table 503 (sq ft). If = Area increase factor due to frontage as calculated in accordance with Section 506.2 Is = Area increase factor due to sprinkler protection per Section 506.3 Multiple stories = 2 Single Story = 3

Frontage Increase (506.2): 

Frontage Increase (506.2) (Equation 5-2) where If = Area increase from frontage. F = Building perimeter fronting a public way or open space having 20 feet (6096 mm) open minimum width (ft). P = Perimeter of entire building (ft). W = Width of public way or open space (ft) in accordance with Section 506.2.1 W at least 20 feet and W divided by 30 shall not exceed 1.0. Where the value of W varies it is based on the weighted average of each portion of exterior wall and open space where the value of W is between 20 and 30 feet.

Total Building Area (506.4): 

Total Building Area (506.4) Determined by multiplying the allowable area of the first floor (Aa), per Section 506.1, by the number of stories as listed below. For two-story buildings, multiply by 2: For three-story or higher buildings, multiply by 3; and, No story shall exceed the allowable area per floor (Aa), as determined in Section 506.1 for the occupancies on that floor. Exceptions: Unlimited area buildings in accordance with Section 507 The maximum area of a building equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system per Section 903.3.1.2 (NFPA 13R) determined by multiplying the allowable area per floor (Aa), per Section 506.1 by the number of stories.

Building Heights and Areas: 

Building Heights and Areas 506.1.1 – Basements need not be included in the total allowable area provided they do not exceed the area permitted for a one-story building.

Unlimited Area (507): 

Unlimited Area (507) Requires 60ft clear around perimeter 60 feet to 40 feet Not more than 75% of perimeter of building Minimum 3 hour exterior walls in reduced space Opening protectives have 3 hour rating in reduced space One Story, unsprinklered Groups F-2, S-2 One Story, sprinklered Groups B, F, M, or S Groups A-4 one story, other than Type V Two Story, sprinklered Groups B, F, M, or S

Example: 

Example

Solution: 

Solution Step One: Determine actual area: Aact = 200 × 125 = 25,000 sf Step Two: Determine Tabular height and area, from Table 503: Tabular height = 4 stories, 55’ Tabular area, At = 19, 000 sf.

Solution: 

Solution Step Three: Apply Height increase for sprinklers (1 story, 20’) Allowable height = 5 stories, 75’ Actual height = 5 stories, 72’ OK !

Solution: 

Solution Step Four: Apply area increase for frontage: F = 650’ P = 650’ W = (25×200+30×125+30×200+30×125)/650 W=28.46 If = [600/600-0.25]×28.33/30=.7115

Solution: 

Solution Step Five: Apply area increase for sprinklers: for multiple story building, Is=2 Step Six: Compute area formula: Aa = 19,000+[19,000×.7115]+[19,000×2] Aa =70,518 > 25,000 OK!

Solution Amax =SAt: 

Solution Amax =SAt Step Eight: Compute maximum area: Amax= SxAt, where S=3, At= 70,518 Amax= 70,518 ×3 = 211,554 Actual area of all floors: Afloors = 25,000 × 5 =125,000 Building complies !

Table 1004.1.1 (Partial)

Determining Occupant Load: 

Determining Occupant Load The designer may increase the occupant load up to one occupant for every 7 SF. Seating/aisle/furniture plan may be required to be posted by the building official Posting of Occupant Load Assembly rooms must be posted Sign near main exit Approved legible, permanent design

Determining Occupant Load:
