Instructor Resources for
Basic Building Principles
• Buildings:– Designed to resist forces
• Gravity, wind, earthquakes, etc.
– Utilize a variety of materials and styles– Change, as do fire and building codes– Constructed according to current code – Often not in compliance with current codes

Instructor Resources for
The Superstructure
• Superstructure – Distributes or carries the load
• Vertical extension above the foundation• Vertical load-carrying systems
– Frames, bearing walls, and combinations of both
• Horizontal load-carrying elements– Normally parts of floors and roofs
• Either wall bearing or frame bearing

Instructor Resources for
Load Paths
• Transmit vertical load systems to ground– Allow buildings to remain upright
• Utilize a “top-down” approach• Loads impose forces within a structural
member• Loads and forces produce stresses

Instructor Resources for
Load Paths (cont’d.)
• Stresses in materials and structural elements– Tension, compression, shear, and bending
• Load paths– May be altered by a variety of forces
• Improper or overstressed load paths– Created by both nature and firefighters
• Moving building parts– Indicate load path shifts and potential failure
• Always consider load paths at all structure fires

Instructor Resources for
Connections
• Structural elements are joined at connections• Most common structural elements:
– Columns, beams, slabs, bearing walls, and trusses
• Other structural elements: domes, arches, shells, cables, and membranes
• Connections can fail when overloaded

Instructor Resources for
Classification of Loads
• According to how loads are imposed– Live, dead, static, dynamic, impact, concentrated,
etc.
• According to where loads are imposed– Axial (through the center)– Eccentric (off center)– Torsional (twisting)
![Page 14: © 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning Instructor Resources for Lesson B Building Basics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e7b5503460f94b7c565/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Instructor Resources for
Specific Hazards Created by Buildings
• Building’s contents, structural elements, and nonstructural elements can burn
• Fire load– Includes contents, combustible structural elements,
and building materials
• Fire– Obeys laws of chemistry and physics– Will travel in vertical and horizontal concealed spaces

Instructor Resources for
Specific Hazards Created by Buildings (cont’d.)
• Nonstructural elements: – Finishes, ceilings, HVAC systems, and interior
arrangements
• Voids conceal building components• Combustible concealed spaces
– Cause of many large-loss fires
• Penetrations in compartmentalized attics: – Allow heat, smoke, and fire to spread

Summary
• Buildings, and fire and building codes change• Superstructure
– Distributes or carries load
• Load paths– Allows buildings to remain upright
• Improper or overstressed load paths– May be created by both nature and firefighters
• Load paths run through connections– Can fail when overloaded
