4 The Evolution of Building Codes? Wood Chimneys were banned in parts of the UK going back to the late 1300s Great fire of London in 1666 burned 80% of the city Resulted in the London Building Code Act of Forensic Engineering 4
5 The Evolution of Building Codes Great Chicago Fire of 1871 burned for 3 days Over 17,000 buildings over 3 square miles 1/3 of the city was left homeless Over $3.8 M damage In 1875: codified construction, alteration and maintenance of buildings -30- Forensic Engineering 5
6 The Evolution of Building Codes National Electrical Code of 1897 Evolved from the invention of Electricity National Fire Protection Association 1897 Standardize the installation of Sprinkler systems Intended to provide standardization -30- Forensic Engineering 6
7 The Evolution of Building Codes Great Fire of Toronto April 19, 1904, destroys downtown. Over 100 buildings destroyed 5000 people out of work Over $10 M damage By-law 4408 Regulating the Erection and to Provide for the Safety of Buildings, July 6, Forensic Engineering 7
8 National Building Code of Canada Developed by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes and published by the National Research Council of Canada.

14 Ontario Fire Code Retrofit Requirements O. Reg. 251/83 Introduced retrofit legislation under Part 9 of the Ontario Fire Code. Upgrades to existing buildings to improve life safety. Building permits often required for this work. Subsequent revisions applicable to various building occupancies Compliance of existing buildings with newer versions of fire codes is retroactively required, unless otherwise stated Forensic Engineering 14
15 Building Design Larger (OBC Parts 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 >600 m²) and high hazard buildings must be designed by architects and engineers. Inspections are conducted by the architects, engineers and authority having jurisdiction Forensic Engineering 15

24 Fire Extinguishers OBC mandates locations as per OFC 6.2 NFPA 10: Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers Corridors and hazardous locations (i.e.-service rooms, shops, labs) Monthly Inspections Annual: Maintenance and Inspection Tagged identifying date, the servicing agency and the signature of the person who performed the service Forensic Engineering 24
25 Passive Fire Protection (PFP) PFP systems remain dormant during normal conditions and become active in a fire situation to prevent the spread of fire or smoke. The building materials designed to remain in place between 0 minutes to 4 hours. Compartmentalize a building into smaller areas. Protect the structural elements of a building -30- Forensic Engineering 25
26 Fire Separations (PFP) Act as a barrier to against the spread of fire. Typical fire-protection ratings of (0 hr, 3/4 hr, 1 hr, 1.5, 2 hr) Wall Assemblies Floor Assemblies Roof Assemblies Doors Windows -30- Forensic Engineering 26
27 Fire-rated Assemblies (PFP) Typical fire-protection ratings: Corridors 1 hr or 30 min. depending on building size Rooms with an Occupant Load of more than 200 persons (Gym, Cafeteria, Theatre) 1 hr if unsprinklered 30 hr if unsprinklered Service Rooms Typically 1 hr Hazardous Classrooms (Labs, Shops) 2 hr if unsprinklered 1 hr if unsprinklered -30- Forensic Engineering 27

(1930 mm.) and a width of 34 in. (865 mm) to be tested kg (100 lb) bag of lead shot supported by a steel cable and dropped through an arch to simulate human contact. The wired safety glass not break/crack, or, if a break/crack does occur, the opening created by the impact does not allow the free passage of a 75 mm diameter sphere through the glass. Any cracks in the glass on the opposite side extending from the impact location must be held in place by the reinforcing wires Forensic Engineering 38

40 Costs Comparisons Wired glass: average cost of approximately $10/sq. Glass-ceramic: non-impact resistant fire-rated glass average cost of approximately $80/sq. ft. impact resistant fire-rated glass average cost of approximately $120/sq. ft. Fire-rated Glass impact resistant fire-rated glass is approximately $170/sq. ft Forensic Engineering 40
41 Records OFC (1) records shall be made and retained at the building for examination by the Chief Fire Official.
