Advantages:
easy to erect and alter
economical
versatile
performs well in Earthquake areas can move
Disadvantages:
fire can spread rapidly
highly damageable
may become unstable in a fire
may include enclosed spaces where fire can spread undetected

2. Joisted Masonry (ISO Class 2, IBC Type III, IBC Type IV)
Joisted Masonry construction is ISO Class 2. ISO Class 2
encompasses IBC Type IIIA and IBC Type IIIB.
Regardless of whether the IBC classification is A
(protected) or B (unprotected) the ISO Class is 2.
IBC Type IV is Heavy Timber construction and is considered
ISO Class 2. The reason is that the heavy timbers perform
well and do not fail early in a fire.

2. Joisted Masonry (ISO Class 2, IBC Type III, IBC Type IV)
Continued..
Building elements: Joisted Masonry buildings are buildings with exterior
walls of masonry or fire-resistive construction rated for not less than
one hour and with combustible floors and roofs. There are several
types of masonry used in the exterior bearing walls of joisted masonry
buildings:
brick
tile
stone
2. Joisted Masonry (ISO Class 2, IBC Type III, IBC Type IV)
Continued..
Advantages:
harder to ignite
consumed more slowly by fire
more structural stability
greater salvage value
lack of concealed spaces (Heavy Timber)
Disadvantages:
floors and roofs of combustible materials subject to damage by fire
presence of concealed spaces

UCTURE%20TYPES.html
Advantages:
easy to erect
economical to build
uses materials that dont readily burn
Disadvantages:
contains steel, which loses strength at high temperatures
highly damageable buildings
unstable buildings under fire conditions
uses slow-burning materials that do burn adding fuel to a fire

http://academics.triton.edu/faculty/fheitzman/BUILDING%20STR
UCTURE%20TYPES.html
Advantages:
Uses unprotected steel for interior members of floors and roof, and
steel loses strength and becomes less stable and more damageable at
high temperatures

Advantages:
uses noncombustible materials
allows greater height and area than other construction classes
uses load-bearing members or assemblies that resist damage from fire
Disadvantages:
expensive to construct and repair
provides a false sense of security
