2006 IFC; difference between dead end versus path of common travel

Currently reviewing a plan for a B Occupancy use, using 2006 IFC; structure is sprinkled throughout, is multi story but for the purposes of this question, this is a ground floor situation. There is a section of office spaces, serviced by one hallway. The hallway is 135 feet in length from one end until you reach a point to choose between two exits. Right off the bat, the hallway exceeds the allowed 100 feet of common path pf egress as allowed at 1014.3; exception 1. However, does the hallway also violate 1017.3; exception 1 for a 50 foot dead end? Please correct me if I am wrong, but does a dead end describe a situation where an area requires two means of egress (possibly due to occupant load and travel distance to an exit), however that the travel distance shall not exceed 50 feet before reaching a point where two exits can be chosen from and then continued to? Ie, travel 50 feet, choose to go left or right, continue the remaining 250 feet to the exit? Sounds a lot like the definition of common path of egress, which allows 100 feet of travel distance before choosing between two exits. "COMMON PATH OF EGRESS TRAVEL. That portion of exit access which the occupants are required to traverse before two separate and distinct paths of egress travel to two exits are available. Paths that merge are common paths of travel. Common paths of egress travel shall be included within the permitted travel distance." Just a little confused, any help is most appreciated.

WHY IFC and not IBC? same language normally can you post a simple floor plan of this? existing or new?????  

Does the group of offices require TWO exits (less than 5000sf)? If not, the common path of travel is moot, also check if the path of travel exceeds 300'. If the hallway could be confused with a path of egress for other parts of the building just install a "cross hallway door" recessed less than 50', or 25' if there is an A occupancy involved.

I'm using the IFC as I am a fire official and am much more familiar with it, even though the IBC and IFC are fairly interlinked together. Other than that, no reason. I will try and get a general rendering of the matter up here on Monday. The office spaces would need two exits due to not meeting an occupant load of 49 or less AND a travel distance of 75 feet (fails the 75 foot travel to an exit requirement for a single exit) to the exit. One problem I do have with the floor plan is the scale is off, I can't accurately measure the true area and linear distances. Total travel distance to the first exit ~200ft off the top of my head, however as stated its 135ft from the offices until a choice of two exits can be made. Thanks for the assistance, I will post the rendering on Monday.  

Forgot to mention, it is an existing structure that the owners have contracted with a design professional to divide the structure into multiple tenant spaces, he is choosing to use current adopted code rather than the code that existed at the time of construction to evaluate the systems in the structure.  

How many sq ft New ,, existing,,, remodel??? Is there a building official involved?

Here's a basic idea of what I'm look at. To clarify, this is ground floor, sprinkled, remodel, B occupancy; travel distance to first choice of two exits is 135 feet, total distance from most remote area is 160 feet, total square feet of the area is approximately 3664 square feet. From what I gather, in the present state it exceeds the 100 feet limitation for common path of travel (1014.3).

I hope that you guys can open that picture up in a separate window; not sure why the preview made it so small.  

It would be a dead end if the corridor went past the last office.....CPET def is an issue...Can't have a dead end with one exit, dead end will depend on where the 2nd door goes...  

Without seeing the rest of the floor plan They might put a door prior to fifty foot mark in corridor and it may make it legal  

The fire code is for new construction (1001.1) IEBC Exceptions 3 or 4 might apply to your project. Extend the last office to include the corridor and reduce the "dead end" length if that may help. 2006 IEBC 705.6 Dead-end corridors. Dead-end corridors in any work area shall not exceed 35 feet (10 670 mm). Exceptions: 1. Where dead-end corridors of greater length are permitted by the International Building Code. 2. In other than Group A and H occupancies, the maximum length of an existing dead-end corridor shall be 50 feet (15 240 mm) in buildings equipped throughout with an automatic fire alarm system installed in accordance with the International Building Code. 3. In other than Group A and H occupancies, the maximum length of an existing dead-end corridor shall be 70 feet (21 356 mm) in buildings equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance with the International Building Code. 4. In other than Group A and H occupancies, the maximum length of an existing, newly constructed, or extended dead-end corridor shall not exceed 50 feet (15 240 mm) on floors equipped with an automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance with the International Building Code.  

Dead end aside; would you gentlemen agree that there is also a common path of egress problem here (exceeded 100 feet)? Not to beat a dead horse, just want to make sure my thinking is correct here as I'm a novice to this still. I believe they are attempting to eliminate some existing exists, and this is the proposal which doesn't seem to quite work.  

I am thinking that just the offices shown do not need two ways out before two separate and distinct paths of egress travel to two exits are available

There is no Exception #1 1,2 & 3 are the conditions that would require 2 exits #2 is the charging language that would require 2 exits if the CPOT is exceeded 1015.1 Exit or exit access doorways required. Two exits or exit access doorways from any space shall be provided where one of the following conditions exists: 1. The occupant load of the space exceeds the values in Table 1015.1. 2. The common path of egress travel exceeds the limitations of Section 1014.3. 3. Where required by Sections 1015.3, 1015.4 and 1015.5. Exception #2 allows 100 ft in a sprinkled building in lieu of the required 75 ft max if the OL is less than 30. Which a 3664 sq ft "B" occupancy should equate to 36 OL. I do not see any way around the requirement for 2 exits from that space in that building as designed. 1014.3 Common path of egress travel. In occupancies other than Groups H-1, H-2 and H-3, the common path of egress travel shall not exceed 75 feet (22 860 mm). In Group H-1, H-2 and H-3 occupancies, the common path of egress travel shall not exceed 25 feet (7620 mm). For common path of egress travel in Group A occupancies having fixed seating, see Section 1025.8. Exceptions: 1. The length of a common path of egress travel in Group B, F and S occupancies shall not be more than 100 feet (30 480 mm), provided that the building is equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1. 2. Where a tenant space in Group B, S and U occupancies has an occupant load of not more than 30 , the length of a common path of egress travel shall not be more than 100 feet (30 480 mm).  

mtlogcabin: This was my logic as well, however I wasn't presenting it was well as you.  

Just for reference, and getting back on topic a bit, I found this in the commentary about dead ends: "A dead end exists if the occupant of the corridor or passageway has only one direction to travel to reach any of the building exits"; seems to also be applicable in this situation as found here in the code: 1017.3 Dead ends. Where more than one exit or exit access doorway is required , the exit access shall be arranged such that there are no dead ends in corridors more than 20 feet (6096 mm) in length. Exceptions: 1. In occupancies in Group I-3 of Occupancy Condition 2, 3 or 4 (see Section 308.4), the dead end in a corridor shall not exceed 50 feet (15 240 mm). 2. In occupancies in Groups B and F where the building is equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1, the length of dead-end corridors shall not exceed 50 feet (15 240 mm). 3. A dead-end corridor shall not be limited in length where the length of the dead-end corridor is less than 2.5 times the least width of the dead-end corridor. More than one exit from this area is required due to 1019.1, Minimum number of exits for occupant load, 1-500= 2 exits; this building does not meet the requirements of 1019.2 for buildings with one exit, specifically have less than 75 feet travel distance to the exit. This appears to be a dead end to me according to the commentary definition, being that there is only one route to travel to get to the exit, in this case exceeding 50 feet, exception #2.

A flair of tropical activity over the eastern Pacific Ocean has Hawaii on alert with at least two systems heading in the direction of the islands, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.

By Alex Sosnowski , AccuWeather senior meteorologist

Published Aug 21, 2024 12:14 PM PDT | Updated Aug 23, 2024 11:04 AM PDT

AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jon Porter joined Bernie Rayno live on the AccuWeather Network on Aug. 22 to discuss what’s expected for the hurricane season in September.

A flare of tropical activity over the eastern Pacific Ocean has Hawaii on alert. At least two systems— Tropical Storm Hone and Major Hurricane Gilma—are heading in the direction of the islands, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.

The first system that AccuWeather has been tracking as a tropical rainstorm since the start of the week was upgraded to Tropical Storm Hone -- pronounced "HOH-neh" -- Thursday afternoon. The 45-mph tropical storm was located about 570 miles to the east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii, as of early Friday midday and was moving westward at 16 mph.

Since the storm formed just west of 140 degrees west longitude, it is in the central Pacific basin, which uses names from the Hawaiian language.

Earlier in the week, AccuWeather highlighted the feature as a tropical rainstorm to begin close tracking and raise public awareness.

"Because Hone is rather far to the south, it may stay to the south of the islands as it closes in this weekend to early next week," AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said, "However, it is in a zone of warmer water and may be more likely to continue as a tropical storm or hurricane, as it gets close."

Historically, the vast majority of tropical cyclones originating in this part of the Pacific that move west continue to move on a westerly course through Hawaii's longitude. This would imply the storm's core would stay south of the islands.

"Flooding rainfall could be a big issue if the system holds together, remains fairly strong and tracks close enough to the islands," DaSilva explained.

Because of the extensive drought, the islands need moisture.

"If Hone loses organization and some of the rain bands fall apart, the lee sides of the mountains may get very little or no rain and may get a lot of wind instead, which could increase the wildfire danger," DaSilva said.

Even with a distant passing storm or a weaker storm approaching the islands from the southeast, breezes and seas will build across the islands this weekend, regardless of shower and thunderstorm activity.

2nd system to watch farther east in the Pacific

Meanwhile, an already-named hurricane is over the eastern Pacific, hundreds of miles to the east of the tropical rainstorm that AccuWeather meteorologists continue to track.

Hurricane Gilma was a 115-mph Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale as of Friday morning and is forecast to remain a major hurricane of at least Category 3 intensity through the end of the week while continuing to travel toward the west-northwest. Gilma was located 1,850 miles to the east of Hilo and was moving west at 8 mph.

"Should this system hold together, it would not be until around the end of the month before it would become a concern for Hawaii," DaSilva said, "It will have to fight for survival as it gets close to Hawaii. While it will be taking a more direct path toward the islands, it will also be entering waters too cool to allow tropical systems to thrive."

Still, in a weakened state, Gilma could bring its own surge of showers, thunderstorms, gusty winds and rough seas to the islands late in the month.

How common are tropical storms and hurricane strikes in Hawaii?

Direct hits by tropical storms and hurricanes are rare in Hawaii , including tropical cyclones approaching from the east as most do. This is because waters are often too cool at Hawaii's latitude and storms that travel farther to the south tend to keep sliding by to the west.

The Big Island and its mountains, which extend to nearly 14,000 feet above sea level, also tend to act as a giant wall or buffer from potent storms coming in from the east that might affect the rest of the String of Pearls.

Olivia was the last tropical storm to make landfall in Hawaii in September 2018. Before reaching Hawaii as a weakening tropical storm, Olivia had reached Category 4 intensity on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale for hurricanes. The hardest hit by flooding, rain and wind from Olivia was Maui. Olivia was the first tropical cyclone to make landfall on Maui and Lanai in recorded history.

During the prior month in 2018, Hawaii had a close encounter with a Category 5 hurricane named Lane. Fortunately, Lane weakened substantially and never made landfall in the islands.

Before Hawaii's greatest natural disaster, which Dora contributed to last August, Iniki from September 1992 was the costliest hurricane. As a Category 4 hurricane, Iniki caused $3.1 billion in damage (1992 USD) as it struck the island of Kauai.

Moscow Travel Guide: Best Things to Do + More [2023]

· everything to know about visiting moscow, including the best things to do and how to get around. ·.

Moscow is Russia’s vibrant capital city, and it also happens to be the largest city in all of Europe. The city’s long and infamous history makes it one of the most unique places we have ever visited.

The architecture ranges from centuries-old palaces to uniform, gray concrete buildings. The people range from cold and private to warm and welcoming. Moscow is a city is strong juxtapositions, and we learned a lot during our time there.

This post will break down all you need to know about visiting Moscow, including the best things to do, how to get there, how to get around, and more.

The Best Things to Do in Moscow

1. explore the red square.

The Red Square is the heart of Moscow. Most of the city’s top attractions can be found here, including just about everything on this list. The Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral, and Lenin’s Mausoleum are all located here, and the State Historical Museum and GUM are not far from here, either.

The Red Square is a common home for parades, protests, and seasonal celebrations. There are massive Christmas celebrations here, with food vendors and carnival rides set up in numbers.

2. Check Out the Ziferblat

The Ziferblat is a café in Moscow that is unlike any café we have ever been to. While most cafes charge you for your drinks and food, the Ziferblat charges you for your time.

Upon arrival, you are given a clock. When you leave, the barista calculates how much time you spent in the café and charges you accordingly. This concept was created to help visitors to be more intentional with their time, and the cafe itself is incredibly charming.

For a detailed look at everything you need to know before you visit, make sure you read my post about visiting the Ziferblat Cafe in Moscow .

3. Marvel at St. Basil’s Cathedral

St. Basil’s Cathedral is one of the most iconic churches in the world, and it was the single thing we were most excited to see while in Moscow. Built almost 500 years ago, St. Basil’s Cathedral is recognized by its colorful domes and whimsical style. The church is of the Russian Orthodox faith, and the inside is just as wondrous as the outside.

St. Basil’s Cathedral is located on the edge of the Red Square, making it incredibly convenient to visit. Entrance for non-worshippers costs 800 rubles, and tickets can be bought at the church

4. Explore the Kremlin

The Kremlin is the largest active fortress in Europe, and it is the site of most of Russia’s government affairs. In addition to government buildings, the Kremlin Complex is filled with courtyards, towers, and museums that are open to the public. If you have the time, you could spend a couple of days fully exploring all that there is to see in the Kremlin.

5. Walk Through Lenin’s Mausoleum

Vladimir Lenin is one of the most important figures in Russian history, and his body is located perfectly embalmed in a mausoleum in the Red Square. The Mausoleum is open to the public to visit, and as long as you are willing to go through a few security checks, it is easily one of the best things to do in Moscow. Its convenient location in the Red Square makes it a can’t miss attraction.

There is absolutely no photography allowed inside the Mausoleum. Do not test this rule.

6. Wander Along Arbat Street

The Arbat is a very popular street in Moscow that is lined with stores, cafes, and other touristy attractions. It is one of the oldest streets in the city, dating back to the 1400s. This street is both quaint and trendy, and there are many walking tours that introduce tourists to the neighborhood’s wonders and highlights.

7. Catch a Show at the Bolshoi Theatre

As a lover of the arts, it is hard to think of Moscow and not think of ballet. Russia has always been a top dog in the world of fine arts, and Bolshoi Theater is one of the best places to catch a performance. We were lucky enough to attend an Opera here, and it is a venue that you don’t want to miss out on if you enjoy opera, ballet, or orchestral performances.

8. Visit the State Historical Museum

The State Historical Museum is one of the most respected museums in Moscow. Despite its name, it is not really focused on the history of Russia as a nation. Rather, it contains a collection of artifacts from all throughout Russia’s history.

The museum’s collection is very broad in nature. It houses some items from indigenous tribes that used to occupy the region, pieces collected by the Romanov family, and more.

9. Wander Around GUM

GUM is an absolutely massive mall within walking distance of the Red Square. It isn’t just the size that draws visitors here; it’s the sense of luxury. The mall is so beautiful inside, much like the metro stations.

While visiting a mall might not sound like it belongs on a bucket list, this mall does. You will not want to miss out on visiting GUM while in Moscow.

10. Admire the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

While St. Basil’s Cathedral is the most iconic church in Moscow, it isn’t the only one. The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is absolutely stunning, with massive golden domes. It is the tallest Orthodox church in the world, and it is the seat of the Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow.

It is located just about a mile from the Red Square, just south of the Kremlin Complex. You can walk to it from the Red Square in about 20 minutes.

How to Get to Moscow

Flying to moscow.

Moscow has three major international airports: Sheremetyevo (SVO) , Domodedovo (DMO) , and Vnukovo (VKO) . All three of them are directly connected to downtown Moscow by the Aeroexpress trains, which leave every 30 minutes throughout the day. By Aeroexpress train, you can expect to get to the city center in 25-45 minutes depending on the airport that you fly into.

Sheremetyevo is the biggest and busiest of the three airports, and it is the one you are most likely to fly into – especially if you are coming from outside of Europe or the Caucus region. We flew into Sheremetyevo on a direct flight from New York City.

I usually provide backup airport options, because flying right into the city isn’t always the cheapest way to get where you’re going. Unfortunately, when it comes to Moscow, don’t really have a choice other than to fly right into Moscow. It is a very remote city, and it is usually the cheapest place to fly into in Russia as a whole.

Since Sheremetyevo is so busy, you will probably find a great flight option anyway. I wrote in  my post about finding cheap flights  that using hub airports will lead to more affordable airfare, and the same logic applies here. Even though Russia’s national airline, Aeroflot, is no longer a member of the SkyTeam Alliance, Moscow is still a major hub connecting passengers from all over the world.

Train or Bus to Moscow

Trains and buses are one of the most popular ways to get around Europe. However, they’re of very little use when you’re trying to get to Moscow.

Moscow is hundreds of miles from the nearest major cities. The only major European city that can even be reached within 8 hours on the ground is St. Petersburg, and even the Baltic capitals of Riga, Vilnius, and Tallinn are over 12 hours away.

If you want to get to Moscow, the best option is almost always to fly. While the train routes to Moscow are scenic, they simply take forever.

How to Get Around Moscow

METRO | TROLLEYS | TRAMS | BUSES

Moscow has one of the most memorable metro systems in the world. Its metro lines are very deep underground, and the stations are absolutely stunning. Each station has its own unique style, but all of them contain escalators that seem to go on forever.

The system was built in an effort to showcase the power of the Soviet Union and its bright future. The plans were a form of propaganda, but they resulted in what is still one of the most visually appealing subway systems on earth.

Moscow’s metro system isn’t just pretty. It is also very useful and accessible. The system has 17 lines that connect the city and its surrounding area.

But wait; there’s more!

The Moscow metro system is also incredibly affordable, with each ride costing less than a dollar. The metro is by far the best way to get around Moscow, as it is almost impossible to beat the connection times and the low cost to ride.

Tickets can be bought at electronic, English-speaking kiosks in stations, or directly from ticket counters at certain larger stations. There are also day passes available, which are a very solid option if you plan on riding the metro several times per day.

The metro is by far the best way to get around Moscow.

In addition to the metro system, Moscow also has a network of buses, trams, and trolleys. This system is nowhere near as convenient or well-connected as the metro, though, and is likely of little use to you during your trip. There is no Uber in Moscow, but a similar app named Yandex is available if you need a ride in a pinch.

How Many Days Do You Need in Moscow?

Moscow is the biggest city in all of Europe, and it is absolutely loaded with things to do. You could spend weeks in Moscow and still find new things to do. Of course, most travelers don’t have that kind of time to spend in one place!

I recommend spending no less than three full days in Moscow, and ideally closer to five or seven.

Moscow is very spread out, and it can take some time to get from one major point to another. There are also so many places that are nice to just sit back and relax, which is hard to do when you’re in a hurry trying to cram activities into just a few days.

If you only have a week to visit Russia, I’d advise spending all of the time in one city. If you decide to split your time between Moscow and St. Petersburg, I recommend not trying to squeeze in any day trips beyond those two cities.

When Is the Best Time of the Year to Visit Moscow?

There are two different ways to approach this question. Personally, I think the best time to visit Moscow is around Christmas and New Year’s Day. While the weather will be absolutely freezing, Moscow is a surreal winter wonderland in December and January.

We were in Moscow right before Christmas. While it was very cold, you can always bundle up. Exploring the Christmas markets and pop-up ice skating rinks throughout Moscow is one of my favorite memories from anywhere I’ve traveled, and I dream of going back to do it again.

If you aren’t fond of the cold, Moscow is beautiful in the summer. It tends to get pretty cold in the shoulder seasons, so if you want warm weather, you should plan to visit in the summer. Moscow actually gets pretty warm in July and August, and there are a bunch of fantastic places to soak up the sun within the city.

The best time to visit Moscow is either around Christmas or from late May to August.

Is Moscow Safe to Visit?

While Moscow is a truly wonderful city, there’s no denying that visiting Russia comes with risks. As the country is run by an infamous communist dictator, concerns about visiting are valid. While we didn’t experience any sort of threat or negative treatment during our time in Moscow, we visited in a peaceful time.

In our experience, Russia doesn’t seem to detain normal Americans or Westerners to use as pawns. As a regular person, as long as you don’t commit any crimes, there is a slim chance you will run into any issues. However, Russia will not hesitate to enforce its laws against foreigners, and illegal behaviors will likely land you in a very compromising position.

Russia will not hesitate to enforce its laws against foreigners, and illegal behaviors will likely land you in a very compromising position.

To make matters worse, Russia has a bad reputation for gang violence. While the Russian mafia has very little interest in normal Western tourists, they won’t hesitate to pick a fight with anyone who ventures into their sphere of influence. If you seek out illegal substances or activities, you could be a target of the mafia.

If you seek out illegal substances or activities, you could be a target of the mafia.

Finally, since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, things are all very different. Russia is currently at war, and there are battles raging within 8 hours of Moscow. While it is still relatively safe to visit, that could change at any time as the war with Ukraine continues.

Is Moscow Worth Visiting?

Without a doubt, Moscow is worth visiting. It is one of the most unique major cities we have ever visited, and we hope to make it back one day. The Russian Orthodox churches are stunning, the city’s history is unlike any other, and the food is to die for.

While many visitors prefer St. Petersburg to Moscow, I think Moscow deserves a lot of hype of its own. Moscow is the beating heart of Russian culture and history, and it’s a place I highly recommend checking out if you have the chance.

That’s all we have for you about Moscow! I hope this post was helpful as you plan your trip to Russia’s capital.
