    Buildings are now classified into four classes based on their fire rating, strength, and materials used, with Class I being the strongest high-rise buildings and Class IV being informal housing. Good specifications precisely describe the materials, workmanship, and construction methods for different building elements. Specifications help ensure buildings are built correctly and legally enforceable.

    Classification of Buildings

    Buildings are classified based on the


     Strength

     Overall specifications
    Classification of Buildings

    Buildings were earlier classified into 4 Classes;


    A,B,C & D, based solely on the strength and type.

    Now buildings are classified into Classes I, II, III & IV


    depending mainly on the Fire rating & Specs.

    Examples:-
     Class I – 10 storeyed commercial buildings
     Class II – 3 storeyed apartment building
     Class III – Residential buildings.
     Class IV – Slum dwellings.
    Classification of Buildings

    CLASS – I (Fire Rating Type 1A &1B)

     These types are generally High Raised and Strongest and


    normally over 23 mtrs tall.
     Constructed in Concrete and protected steel ( Coated with
    fire resistant material) which are designed to retard fire.
     Fire resistant from 2 to 3 hours

    Examples:
     Shear wall buildings
     Vidhana Soudha
    Classification of Buildings

    CLASS-II (Fire Rating Type 2A & 2B)

     Roofs are covered with concrete.
     Fire resistance of one to two hours.

    Example:
     Reva buildings
     RMZ mall
    Classification of Buildings

    CLASS – III ( Fire rating Type 3A & 3B)


     These buildings have non-combustible walls but with wooden
    elements.
     Light weight roofing systems.
     No fire resistance for structural frame, floors, ceilings or roofs.
     Fire resistance of one hour.

    Example:
     Residential buildings with tile roofs.
    Classification of Buildings

    CLASS - IV (Fire rating Type 4)


     Utilizes timber or combustible materials.
     Not termite resistant.
     Not long standing against weather, climate and floods etc.,
    contributing to early collapse.
     Not highly fire proof, less than one hour.

    Example:
     Most slum dwellings
     Thatched roof residences.
