And outdoor parking designation and outdoor dining area are also included. The center of each floor of the four storey complex is equipped with an elevator system and fire-isolated stairwell. American Institute of Steel Construction. 2012. Engineering FAQs. 11.3.1. What is a fire load? Where do fire loads primarily come from in buildings? Copyright 2012American Institute of Steel Construction, All Rights Reserved. http://www.aisc.org/DynamicTaxonomyFAQs.aspx?id=1994. Accessed: 9/4/2012. - The Building code of Australia, a uniform set of technical guidelines for the safety and construction of buildings and other structures throughout Australia is adopted under the provisions of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act & Regulation.
A proposed building will comply with the BCA to the extent that it satisfies the performance requirements - this compliance can be achieved by complying with the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions, or through the formulation of an Alternative solution that achieves compliance. Compliance can also be achieved if it can be demonstrated that the proposal is at least equivalent to the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions, if not matching them directly. In regards to CF1, the fire safety provisions, the proposed structure is limited in height; no higher than four storeys, and would not comprise extraordinary measures by the fire brigade/fire department to access, yet it requires classification as a Type A construction, so the most effective measures should be implemented.
There are no planned architectural features that would add to the fire load of the structure beyond the innate potential of items brought in by inhabitants (Such as obvious plans for accelerant containment/disposal). As defined by Part C, CP1 performance requirements of the National Construction Code. No current plans exist that would enhance the effective wood-equivalent weight of potential
