i d m i n i s i i at ion . e i i lo i (c inent a n d the l e l a t i o n between Deal and State Codes.

Philosophy Beh ind the Code

P r io i to the t ime t l i a t the p r e l i m i n a r y d r a f t siib-com-l i t l ee of the b u i l d i n g code ( o n u n i t l e e o»: the O h i o Pro-l a in Commiss ion i n t e r v i e w e d a n d engaged a (ode wr i t e r r ( o o r d i n a t o r . a i l i o r o u g h s tudy had been made ol the \ i s t i n g code and cond i t i ons o l b u i l d i n g regulat ions i n he State. O u t of this s ludy came the con> i c t i o n that the

(resent code was ou t -moded a n d d r a f t e d a long lines that i d not p e r m i t l a t i o n a l rev is ion or maintenance i n an p-toclate ( o n d i i i o n even i f such revis ion were pract i -able. T he commi t tee had therefore concluded that the

|iew b u i l d i n g code s h o i d d be a p c r i o n n a n t e (ode rather han a specif icat ion code.

A per formance code is one w h i c h establishes re ( |u i red u n i m u m end results i n terms of per formance and \ne-

Icribes the rec|uisite tests f o i mater ia ls , or c o n s t r i u t i o n )steins by wh ich to d e t e r m i n e that the l e q u i r e d perfor-i i a iue residts w i l l be f u l f i l l e d , f t therefore makes ade i iate per formance f o r the task in tended , as de te rmined

by these tests or i n pract ice unde r c o n d i t i o n of c o n t i o l l e d se, the c r i t e r ia fo r acceptance of any mate r ia l , mate r ia l sseiiibh or c o n s t n u t i o n system.

T his el iminates spec i f u i t ions c o n t r o l l i n g the luater i -is. ma te r ia l assembly or consti i k t i o n system, whi( h o u l d tend to restrict the acceptance of o ther materials

r systems of construc t i o n no t specified, e\en though the jatter may be ecjually as g o o d or i n .some cases better han those s|>ecifietl. I t must be no ted however, that i n e r t a in fields and to some ex ten t ce r ta in m i n i m m n speci-cations may be necessary i n or t le r to define the recjuired je r formance residts.

T h e basic f m i c t i o n o f a b u i l d i n g code is to produce u i l d ings tha t are safe f o r t l u use lot w h i d i they are

h tended. The requ i rements therefore nuist be the m i n -u u m that w i l l produce:

1. L i f e safety 2. S t ruc tu ra l safety 3. H e a l t h safety a n d 4. F i re safety t o a d j o i n i n g proper t ies

T h e code must n o t l)e designed to protect special inter-SLs o r to encroach o n the r igh t s and l iber t ies of the

L R C I I 1 1 !•: C T

designer an i l owner . By this p h i l o s o p h y fire p r o t e c t i o n of the b u i l d i n g i tself becomes a ma t t e r f o r the j u i l g i n e n t o f the investor u n t i l the omiss ion o f such p r o t e c t i o n i)e gins to create a hazard t o the occupants o f the b u i l d i n g or to a d j o i n i n g proper t ies .

A s iu \ey of ava i lab le b u i l d i n g codes i n a search f o r the possibibts ol a( ( ( n n | ) l i s h i n g a scissoi a n d paste j o b iCNcaled tha t there exis ted several loca l m e t r o p o l i t a n f ) u i l d i n g ccxles o f cons ide iab le m e r i t , as w e l l as several n a t i o n a l l y recognized m o d e l codes of ecpial m e r i t . A stui ly of these however, soon revealed tha t they were n o t sui table f o r u.se as a state code v e r b a t i m because they were w i i t t en f o r the p rob lems e x i s t i n g i n a m e t r o p o l i tan area w i t h l o n c e i u i a t e d j j roper t ies and the o the r hazards r e su l t i ng f r o m such an area, w h i c h are n o t the same as exist i n the r u r a l areas o f a state.

In order to "open" this kitchen up, we broke out the wal l and archway and made the breakfast room our downstairs utility room.

School Saves $15,000 With Flexicore System

Compared to the other fire-resistant, structural systems, Flexicore cut cost of this Massachusetts school by $15,000. Standard concrete units clear-spanned 26 ' classrooms without intermediate supports. Exposed underside of slabs required only paint ing to finish; cei l ing plaster was eliminated. H o l l o w cores of Flexicore floor slabs served as air ducts fo r an economical split-system panel heating.

Slabs Reduce Job Costs Flexicore's fast, simple erection reduces on-the-job t ime and labor costs. Slabs are precast to load specifications in exact lengths needed. Rapid placement gives other trades an immediate work deck above and frees area below. For f u l l information, wri te any of the three Oh io manufacturers listed below.

FOR ACOUSTICAL CORRECTION FOR THFRMAL INSULATION

FOR FIREPROOFING ABESTOSPI^Y is theliTMttii^nsulati material that is used for botmacoustical and thermaîyîfl^ses. It is applied by a splcial type gun which combines fibres, binder, ckr and water to make a blanket-like surface which is ^pt full of minute air pockets. These tiny pockets pick u^pnd entrap noise.

The peaceful Jmiiet so necessary for contemplation ^ and prayer is %<»ic' enjoyed by the congregation €>f the church pt\iired at right.

ASBESTOSPRAY is an excellent insulation, acJapted to use on the underside of roofs, to metal buildings, to boiler room ceilings, in fact to any condition that requires either keeping heat in or keeping it out. It may be used in high temperature work, taking 1700 degrees and more without effect. ASBESTOSPRAY has a K-factor of 0.264. The material is used extensively for the insulation of steel or corrugated cement asbestos board buildings. The Goodyear Aircraft Corporation solveil this very important problem and received acoustical correction, fire proofing and moisture control as a bonus, in the protluction space at left.
