1-1 OBJECT1VE OF MANUAL

CHAPTER 1

GENERAL

The objective of this manual is to supplement DOD 4270.1-M, Depart­ment of Defense "Construction Criteria Manual." DOD 4270.1-M is further supplemented by Army Regulations, Technical Manuals in the TM 5-800 series, and Corps of Engineers Guide Specifications for Military Construction. It is emphasized that DOD 4270.1-M is the primary source to which design per­sonnel should refer for construction criteria. Wherever Army or agency publications containing policies or procedures relating to construction conflict with DOD 4270.1-M, the policies and proc12dures in DOD 4270.l=M shall govern. Howeverg departmental or agency criteria that impose further r~strictions not inconsistent with DOD criteria shall not be considered conflicts.

1-2 ORGANIZATION OF MANUAL

The arrangement and numbering of this manual are patterned after DOD 4270.1-M. In general, corresponding numbered divisions (chapters and para­graphs) of the DOD and the Army manuals relate to identical subjects. Ad­ditional paragraphs and subparagraphs are added wherever necessary to cover subjects not treated in the DOD manual. Such added paragraphs and subpara­graphs include a 50-series numeral within their number structure. Omission in this manual of a numbered division denotes that there are no supplemen­tary Army requirements in this manualg although such require~nts may ap­pear in other Army publications.

1-3.5 APPENDICES

Publications that are directly related to the criteria in whether or not referred to directly, are listed in Appendix 1. 4270.1-M, howeverp copies of the publications are not included pendix.

as defined in AR 415-10, will or will not be included as part of the construction for the facilityt depending upon the circumstances as they relate to the facilityo Portable equipment, as defined in AR 415-10, will ordinarily not be included as part of the construction for the fa­cility. Government-furnished equipment will be used only where (a) com­plex, specially designed equipment is required, (b) significant economies can be realized without jeopardizing the construction cost or the com­pletion schedule, (c) surplus equipment is available and can be used effectively in lieu of procuring new equipment, or (d) advance procure­ment is essential i~ order to meet critical time schedules.

1=4.2.51 Construction Other Than Permanent

1~4.2 .51A Semipermanento Design criteria will be :in general con­formity with criteria for permanent construction 0 except as modified herein or in DOD 4270.1-M. The choice between masonry and wood-frame construction will be based on cost differential in the localityp the &iticipated lifap and the functional use, Extraneoii8 features such as o~erhangs 0 exterioz screening wallsp and nonfunctional ornamentation ~ill be a-woided o

1-4.2o5lb Temporaryo Modified conventional framing will be con­sidered as a contractor's option for conventional wood framing when competitive in cost and suitable for the climate. The fxames consist of dimension lumber with plywood crown and haunch gussets. Structural strength depends upon the diaphragm action of plywood roof sheathing and plywood wall siding. Design data may be obtained from the appr.opriate plywood as­sociation. Metal prefabricated buildings will be considered where fund limitations pennitc Pressure- preservative-treated pole-type construction will be considered for foundation and framing system of warehouses and other indust~ial=type use. Roof framing systems will not be preservative treatedo

l-4o2c5lc Emergency. Design criteria are contained in Department of the Army Technical Manuals in TM 5-880 through -899 series 9 and in Co~ps of Engineers Guide Specifications for Emergency-Type Construction. Cc:-~.teria not covered in these publications will be as prescribed for temporary construction,'except for modifications necessary to confoirm to the definition of emergency construction in Chapter 2.

2-1 DEFINITIONS

EMERGENCY CONSTRUCTION. A ~ategory of temporary construction designed to permit accomplishment of construction in a minimum amount of time with maximum conservation of critical materials •

PROTECTIVE CONSTRUCTION. Construction of structures and facilities delib­erately designed to proyide a predetermined level of protection against hostile actions and accidental hazards. Such construction may provide protection from the effects of any or all of the follow­ing: (1) attack by nuclear weapons, (2) accidental explosions, (3) intrusion of military facilities, (4) attack by chemical or biological weapons, or (5) attack by conventional (high-explosive) weapons.

SITE IMPROVEMENT. All site work needed to produce an adequate, usable, and attractive facility, meeting operational requirements and blend­ing harmoniously into the surrounding area with minimum disturbance of existing terrain, drainage patterns, and desirable vegetation. It covers clearing, grubbing, rough grading, topsoiling, fine grading, seeding, sodding, planting trees and shrubs, and, when needed, relo­cation of structures, including new foundations, utility connections, and other work required to place the structure in usable condition at a site that is not in conflict with the installation's general site plan approved by Headquarters, Department of the Army. Site improvement includes site preparation as defined in DOD 4270.1-M •

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES CRITERIA

GENERAL

3-1.51 SPACE ALLOWANCES

3-1.51.1 General

The criteria herein and in DOD 4270.1-M govern the authorization of facilities, except aviation (see TM 5-803-4), required to accomplish the peacetime mission at all Army installations other than industrial, and the space allowances to be provided. These criteria apply to Army instal­lations in the United States, oversea commands, and in occupied territory and oversea base rights areas unless specified to the contrary; and are intended to provide guidance in the development of installation master plans called for by AR 210-20 or 415-36, as applicable, and in the prepar­ation of Army construction programs as called for by AR 415-15.

3-1.51.2 Facilities

The type, size, and number of facilities described herein are those normally required for the housing and maintenance of troops and activities at division-type installations. By adjustment, they will also be adapted for use at other types of installations, such as Army training centers, schools, hospitals, depots, and arsenals. Except where specified as mini­mums, the numbers and/or capacities listed are maximums which will not be exceeded unless specially justified. It is not the intent that planning boards will list each facility contained herein as a requirement in the tabulation of existing and required facilities (see AR 210~20), unless there is a valid need for the item to satisfy the planned installation mission. Other requirements not covered will be determined on the basis of the particular needs of each installation, and justified as exceptions to space allowances. Where installation strengths exceed those listed in the tables hereinafter, the increased space allowances required will be based upon a prorated extension of the established limitations, except for those facilities for which the tables establish ultimate maximum allowances, or prescribe incremental space increases for installation capacities above those included in the tables. These criteria do not constitute authority for the development of drawings for any facility, other than preliminary sketches required for planning purposes.

3-1.51.3 Application

The allowances listed herein are applicable to both master planning and construction programing for facilities . For master planning purposes the allowances are to be applied to 100 percent of the long-range strengths (scheduled military strengths) of installations as listed in the current "Stationing Plan for Permanent Construction." For fiscal year construction programing, the allowances listed herein are to be applied as directed in AR 415-15 .

(d) Individual or private offices, and semiprivate offices, which, due to operational needs, require space in excess of allowances to adequately perform assigned missions and duties may exceed the criteria on an individual office basis by not more than 15 percent; such increases will not be added to the total authorized allowances but will be made by adjustment within the total area authorized in this section.

In all cases, justification for an administration project will include the total number of personnel to be assigned office space and documentation of personnel justification. Total office space requirements for organiza­tional elements shown on U.S. Army Garrison Organization Chart of DA Pam 20-551, Staffing Guide for U.S. Army Garrisons, will conform to Tables of Distribution and Allowance (CSGPA 382-Rl).

3-2.1.50 Post Headquarters Building

Administrative activities and other related facilities may be consol­idated into one headquarters building. At division-type installations, depending on requirements and physical layout of facilities, the division headquarters may be housed together with the post headquarters building. Wherever conditions permit and economies can be effected thereby, such consolidations will be effected. If any post service administrative activ­ities are housed in the post headquarters buildings, the allowances for post headquarters will be increased accordingly .

The following criteria for storing liquid items are provided as a programing guide. These instructions provide latitude to permit prepara­tion of a military- construction program that will meet practical require­ments. However, since the Department of the Army is responsible for defend­ing the requirements for :funding, sufficient information must be provided to support the command requests. For the information of all oversea com­mands, there is no provision in these instructions for building additional tank.age to replace that lost through enemy action. All requests for tank­'age in the annual military construction programs will be JJJStified in detail; accurate Justification can be expressed mathematically.
