In this video, we will discuss the various construction types outlined in the building code, including Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV, and Type V construction. Understanding the characteristics and requirements of each type of construction is critical for architects, engineers, and builders to ensure the safety and durability of their buildings.
Type I construction is made of non-combustible materials like concrete and steel, making it the most fire-resistant construction type. Type II construction also uses non-combustible materials but includes some combustible components like wood. Type III construction has non-combustible exterior walls and combustible interior components, while Type IV construction uses heavy timber and has a high level of fire resistance. Type V construction, the most common type, uses wood as its primary material.
By differentiating between these construction types, architects, engineers, and builders can ensure that their construction meets the safety standards set forth in the building code. It is essential to follow these guidelines to ensure that buildings are safe and durable for years to come.
