Per the IBC the majority of buildings will fall into one of the five different classifications, I, II, III, IV, or V depending on the type of construction used to build the structure.1 Each type of construction, except IV, has an A and B designation based on the fire-resistance rating required for different building elements. This report will focus on Type III-A building construction2.
