of wood frame construction, p1Us 2 x 15,000 = 30,000 square feet of ordinary <br /> construc[ion plus 2 x 20,OG0 � 40,000 square fee[ (liml[ed to 35,100 square <br /> feet) of noncombustible conetruction. The f3re tlow will be 242 x B000 <br /> (wood frame) + 35X x 6750* (ordinary) + 41% x 5500+ (nonco�bustible) = 1920 <br /> + 2362 + 2255 = b537 gpm, or to the nearest 250 gpm, = 6500 gpm. <br /> *based upon 140,000 aquare feet. <br /> e. Given: A 2-story building of ordinary construction of 105,000 square <br /> feet (gzound area) co�unicates wi[h a 1-s[ory building of noncombustible <br /> canstruction of 8D,000 square fee[ (ground area) . hormally the required <br /> fire flow would be determined by proportioning as in "c" above. This <br /> would result in a required fite flow of i460 gpm, or 7500 gpm. Ho�ever, <br /> it is to be noted that the total azea of the 2-story building alone results <br /> in a fire FLON of 8,000 gpm and, of course, the logical answer wouid be <br /> 8,OOO. gpm. My time the total area resulte in the use of an upper limit <br /> for fire flow, the possibility of a portion of the fire area justifying the <br /> upper limit must be investigated. <br /> f. Given:. A normal 1-story building of ordinary conetruction of 210,000 square <br /> feet (ground area). The table gives a required fire flow of 8,000 gpm, <br /> however, since this is a normal 1-story building, the maximum fire flow is <br /> 6,000 gpm. <br /> g. Given: A normal 1-story building of ordinary construction of BO,OOC square <br /> feet communicBtes with a normal 1-story building of noncoabustible construc- <br /> tion of 85,006 square feet. Normally the required fire flow woulz be de- <br /> termined by proportioning ae in "c" above. This would result in a required <br /> fire flow of 6480 gpn� or 6500 gpm. However, since these are nor�al 1-story <br /> buildings the maKicium fire f1oW is 6,000 gpm. <br /> 'i <br /> � <br /> ' <br /> � <br /> -5- <br />
