A.3.3.175.1 Open Mall Concourse.

An open mall concourse is permitted to serve as the public way provided the open mall concourse

meets the definition of public way in accordance with this Code.

It is intended that the open mall concourse be designed, constructed, and arranged to permit the

natural venting of smoke and other products of combustion to the outside air through openings in the

walls, roof, or combination thereof of the mall concourse.

The solid area of the mall concourse walls and the horizontal projection of the solid area of any roof

structures, including shade structures, awnings, and canopies, that cover the mall concourse should be

summed to determine the aggregate area of solid construction associated with the mall concourse. A

mall concourse can be considered an open mall concourse where at least 50 percent of the aggregate

area of solid construction is open to the atmosphere. Open areas can include entrances to the mall

concourse (e.g., barred gates that allow air to pass through versus an entrance storefront), clearstory

spaces between the mall building (structure that houses tenants) and the roof above, and openings in

the roof assembly. For the openings to be effective, they must also be distributed uniformly over the

length of the mall concourse. Caution must be exercised in the design and construction so as to not

create areas of possible congestion for smoke and hot gases to accumulate, such as a pitched (steep

slope) roof assembly within the mall concourse.

Roof assemblies are permitted to have holes or open areas that represent openings to the outside. The

roof assembly is also permitted to consist of a structure or assembly that allows the venting of the mall

concourse. Examples of these vented roof structures include a roof trellis or an exposed roof structural

frame only with no roofing materials. Structures that would permit the omission of automatic sprinkler

protection, in accordance with NFPA 13, could be included to serve as open space for the purposes of

the calculation of areas open to the outside air. Caution should be taken not to allow vegetation to grow

into and around these structures that could reduce or impede the venting capabilities.

bFor the purpose of determining occupant load in mercantile occupancies where, due to differences in the finished ground level ofstreets on different sides, two or more floors directly accessible from streets (not including alleys or similar back streets) exist, each

such floor is permitted to be considered a street floor. The occupant load factor is one person for each 40 ft2 (3.7 m2) of gross floorarea of sales space.

cFor the purpose of determining occupant load in mercantile occupancies with no street floor, as defined in 3.3.271, but with accessdirectly from the street by stairs or escalators, the floor at the point of entrance to the mercantile occupancy is considered the streetfloor.

dFor any food court or other assembly use areas located in the mall concourse that are not included as a portion of the grossleasable area of the mall structure, the occupant load is calculated based on the occupant load factor for that use as specified inTable 7.3.1.2. The remaining mall concourse area is not required to be assigned an occupant load.

eThe portions of the mall concourse that are considered a pedestrian way and not used as gross leasable area are not required tobe assessed an occupant load based on Table 7.3.1.2. However, means of egress from a mall pedestrian way concourse arerequired to be provided for an occupant load determined by dividing the gross leasable area of the mall structure building (notincluding anchor stores buildings ) by the appropriate lowest whole number occupant load factor from Figure 7.3.1.2(a) or Figure7.3.1.2(b).

Each individual tenant space is required to have means of egress to the outside or to the mall concourse based on occupant loadscalculated by using the appropriate occupant load factor from Table 7.3.1.2.

Each individual anchor store is required to have means of egress independent of the mall concourse.

37 of 72 12/13/2016 9:32 AM

Page 46 of 94

A.24.2.8 The grab bars required by 24.2.8 are designed to improve safety of showering and bathing by ambulatory users, typically entering and exiting a bath, bathtub-shower combination, or shower facility for showering while standing, or for other forms of bathing that can entail transition to/from a crouching or sitting position. For grab bar requirements appropriate for other uses and users, especially users with disabilities, refer to the requirements in ICC/ANSI A117.1, Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. Generally, the grab bars specified for this Code will not interfere with other grab bars installed in accordance with the requirements of ICC/ANSI A117.1 and they can contribute to meeting the requirements of ICC/ANSI A117.1 and vice versa. For example, combination vertical and horizontal grab bars (e.g., in an L configuration), as addressed by ICC/ANSI A117.1, can meet the requirements of this Code for a vertical grab bar. Similarly, requirements for a horizontal grab bar on the back wall are compatible. Dimensions for the height of grab bars are based on typical, mass-produced bathtubs with a wall height above the finished floor of about 15 in. (380 mm) and the bottom of the bathtub within 1 to 2 in. (25 to 51 mm) of the finished floor elevation. Adjustments to stipulated grab bar height limits and ranges, referenced to the bath tub rim, should be considered for bath tubs having higher walls and, thus, rim heights, above the bottom of the tub and, possibly, also the wall height above the finished floor. ICC/ANSI A117.1 references grab bar height dimensions to the bathtub rim and, for consistency with this widely used ANSI standard, that convention is maintained in this Code. A.24.2.8.2 The requirements within this section provide design options for points of control when entering and/or exiting a bathtub or shower. Points of control are critical to providing guidance and stability to an occupant much the same as a handrail provides on stairs. The different points of control specified by this section, wall mounted grabs or vertical poles, provide options for compliance in a wide range of conditions. It is important to note that only one point of control is required for entry and egress transfers. The use of a vertical pole is not required and is offered as an option to wall mounted grab bars. A.24.2.8.1.2 The provision of 24.2.8.1.2 is intended to ensure that grab bars, if provided voluntarily (i.e., as nonrequired) for dedicated showers, meet the requirements of 24.2.8, so that something appearing to be a grab bar can effectively perform as one. However, such grab bars would only be considered nonrequired in the case of dedicated showers not involving misstep and fall dangers addressed by 7.1.6.2 and 7.1.6.4. This means that walking surfaces must be at least as safe, in terms of underfoot conditions, as any other portion of the means of egress (where, for example, handrails are not required) for users not having mobility disabilities. This would require exceptionally careful choice

Page 47 of 94

and maintenance of underfoot materials as well as very effective control of water within and adjacent to the dedicated shower facility. A.24.2.8.2.1 Grab bars located where they interfere with sealing or with a shower curtain against escape of water — especially to the floor surface outside the shower facility — might introduce safety problems in the form of greatly reduced slip resistance of the walking surface, which could violate this Code. This can be avoided with a 6 in. (150 mm) horizontal separation between the shower curtain rod and the grab bar. It is assumed that other forms of water control, such as an installed enclosure, will not interfere with the use of grab bars. A.24.2.8.2.3 A free-standing pole, satisfying requirements for a grab bar can offer flexibility in placement, for example, within the close quarters of a small bathroom where there is a water closet adjacent to the bathing facility and a single grab bar can serve both facilities. Where the bathing facility is free standing, without walls, especially with large soaking tubs, including those on pedestals, the vertical pole–type grab bar is especially useful. The pole also can solve attachment problems where walls are nonexistent or difficult to use for installing conventional, wall-mounted grab bars. A.24.2.8.3.1 Using the midpoints of the distance ranges and the minimum distance from the control end wall results in a 45-degree angle for the diagonal grab bar. Such a diagonal grab bar (or alternatively, a horizontal grab bar fairly similar to the option provided by 24.2.8.3.1, which meets requirements of ICC/ANSI A117.1, Standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities) was found suitable in tests performed of several grab bar options with 103 independent-living seniors with an average age of 70. (“Evaluation of Optimal Bath Grab Bar Placement for Seniors,” by H. Sveistrup, D. Lockett, N. Edwards, and F. Aminzadeh, University of Ottawa with funding by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, 2003.) A.24.2.8.5.4 The best-performing grab bars are in the middle third of the permitted range for circular diameter. For some grab bar designs, with undulations and other surface geometry features to improve slip resistance for users’ hands, these dimensions will be nominal with small variations depending on where measurements are taken. Children and others with smaller hands will be able to use the diameters within the lower part of the permitted range. When using a free-standing pole for a grab bar, structural considerations, especially for stiffness, might dictate using diameters in the upper part of the permitted range.

Page 48 of 94

Note that a minimum clearance between the grab bar and an adjacent surface is specified. With grab bars, especially horizontal ones, on which large, downward loads are imposed by the arms of users, there is some concern about people’s hands slipping into the clear space; however, this can occur even with an absolute 1.5 in. (38 mm) clearance, as some standards specify and most grab bar designs provide. Thus the main difference in the end result is where, along its length, the arm gets wedged behind the grab bar, not the complete prevention of this happening at all.

A.7.6

Page 91 of 94

Table A.7.6 is a compilation of the requirements of the individual occupancy chapters (Chapters 12 through 42) for permissiblelength of common path of travel, dead-end corridors, and travel distance to not less than one of the required exits.

A dead end exists where an occupant enters a corridor thinking there is an exit at the end and, finding none, is forced to retrace thepath traveled to reach a choice of egress travel paths. Although relatively short dead ends are permitted by this Code, it is betterpractice to eliminate them wherever possible, as they increase the danger of persons being trapped in case of fire. Compliance withthe dead-end limits does not necessarily mean that the requirements for remoteness of exits have been met. Such lack ofcompliance is particularly true in small buildings or buildings with short public hallways. Adequate remoteness can be obtained insuch cases by further reducing the length of dead ends. (See also A.7.5.1.5.)
