Deadend & Common Path of Travel 30-0

[@genefennell4453]

Finally a definition of Common Path of Travel that uses words other than the phrase "common path of travel" to explain the concept.

This following vid is great illustration are informative, thank you martyHuei, for more additional input always consider first the building height classification & area of the building, the following arrangements of exit consider NFPA 101 A. table 7.6 the occupant load you can identify the different distance of the following travel distance & dead-end to be considered. For the room requires single exit should not exceeding 50 occupants, more than 50-500 occupants considered not less than 2 separate exit, and for the doors swing to the direction of egress.

these videos on IBC are great! video idea: differences between fire walls, barriers, separations and when to use them?

[@MartyHuie]

Leslie Robinson Yes, that sounds like a great one, I will start the outline this week. I will be a few weeks before I am able to do the video and post, Please look for it. I like the thought.. Please pass the my website to others. :)

+Leslie Robinson My last video, just posted a week or so ago finally covers this topic sorry for the delay

Thank you for your video's I am a new fire inspector and have been given the job of plan review. You have cleared up several questions I have had with plans. One architect here uses a series of triangles to come up with travel distance. Do you have a video on how to use triangulation to figure travel distance?

Marty, in the two door scenario you describe, is it not true that both paths lead you to the same exit stair? I thought the intent of Common path is two separate and distinct paths of egress travel to two separate exits. When you land in the corridor on the same side of the first stair have you meet the second part of the requirement: ..."to two separate exits?"

[@MartyHuie]

WOW!! you are correct, That dot I placed at 2:45 is not the common path distance. The over all distance to the stair is still the common path. The Common path was shorten with adding the second door but the over all common path is still to the stir. I will replace the video next month with one that is correct. Thank You for catching this. Sorry I did not see this the first time

[@MartyHuie]

@Ronnie Gor thank you please look at video #8, this video #30 has an error in it sorry. over all consept is correct but there is an error

[@dfinchermd]

Marty,In your example with two doors is the CPT distance of < 75' required for both doors assuming an occupant load less than 50? To be clearer I have a suite with an OL

[@MartyHuie]

I am not sure if this is a question or a just conversation, sorry. you can send me a plan if you would like to review and comment on. Go to my website and send me a email and we can go from there
