For assembly places for public use, how many water closets are required if the capacity is 115 males?

In assembly places for public use, the number of required water closets (also known as toilets) is determined by regulations that typically specify the ratio of fixtures based on the capacity and gender of the occupants.

For a capacity of 115 males, the plumbing codes or building standards often stipulate a certain number of water closets per 50 or 100 males. Most codes might require one water closet for a certain number of males, and as the number of males increases, additional fixtures become necessary to ensure access and sanitation.

In this scenario, if the standard code requires one water closet for the first 50 males and then an additional unit for every 50 males thereafter, you would calculate the requirement as follows:

• For the first 50 males, 1 fixture is needed.

• For the next 50 males (up to 100), 1 additional fixture is required.

Thus, for 115 males, a total of 2 water closets is established; however, common practices and some codes might necessitate having an additional fixture to ease accessibility and accommodate peak times, leading to the conclusion that more than
