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

To determine the appropriate number of urinals required for a public assembly place with a capacity of 115 males, one must refer to the plumbing and building code standards that specify the necessary fixtures based on occupancy. Generally, codes indicate a specific ratio of male occupants to the number of required urinals.

For a male population of 115, many plumbing codes suggest a requirement of one urinal for every 40 males, with a minimum of two urinals required regardless of the total occupancy. When you follow this guideline:

1. Divide the total male population (115) by the ratio (40) to get the number of urinals needed: 115 ÷ 40 = 2.875. This rounds up to a requirement of 3 urinals.

In many standards, however, allowances are made for rounding down to ensure practicality, particularly for smaller numbers of people. Given that the calculation indicates a need for three urinals in this case to adequately serve the needs of 115 male occupants, it supports the choice indicating that three urinals would meet the basic requirement for sanitation and convenience.
