7 Building

The document discusses 5 types of building construction. Type I is wood construction with NIPA houses as an example. Type II has additional fire resistant materials and one hour fire resistance. Type III allows masonry and wood with one hour fire resistance. Type IV requires steel, iron, concrete or masonry with fire resistant walls, ceilings and partitions. Type V is fully fire resistant with structural elements of steel, iron, concrete or masonry.

Type I Buildings shall be of wood construction. The structural elements may be any of the
materials permitted as follows: NIPA houses and similar structures fall under this type.

Type II Buildings shall be of wood construction with protective fire-resistant materials and one-hour
fire resistive throughout: Except, that permanent non-bearing partitions may use fire-
retardant treated wood within the farming assembly with one hour resistivity.

A. Third group wooden structural farming, floorings and sidings and GI roofing.
B. Third group wooden structural farming, floorings and sidings and GI roofing but
structural members are substandard.

Type Building shall be of masonry and wood construction. Structural elements may be any of the
III material permitted by the said National Building Code: Provided that the building shall be
one-hour fire resistive throughout. Exterior wall shall be of incombustible fire-resistive
construction.

A. First group wooden structural farming, walls and GI roofing.


B. First group wooden structural farming, floorings and walls on the first floor and
tanguile walls on the second floor and GI roofing.
C. First group wooden post, girders, girts, window sills and head, spiting floor joist
and roof framing, tanguile flooring and siding and GI roofing.
D. Third group wooden structural farmings, floorings and sidings and GI roofing.
E. Third group wooden structural farmings, floorings and sidings and GI roofing but
structural members are substandard.

Type Building shall be of steel, iron, concrete or masonry construction. Walls, ceiling and
IV permanent partitions shall be of incombustible fire-resistive construction: Except, that
permanent non-bearing partitions of one-hour fire-resistive construction may use fire-
retardant treated wood within the farming assembly.

A. Concrete columns, beams and walls – but wooden floor joist, flooring and roof
farmings and GI roofing; even if walls are in CHB, kitchen and T & B are
reinforced concrete slabs.
B. Concrete columns and beams – but hollow block walls and GI roofing.

Type V Building shall be fire-resistive. The structural elements shall be of steel, iron, concrete or
masonry construction. Walls, ceiling and permanent partitions shall be of incombustible
fire-resistive construction.

A. Structural steel and reinforced concrete columns and beams.


B. Column beams, walls, floors and roofs are all reinforced concrete.
C. Walls are hollow blocks reinforced concrete or tile roofing.
