good ole' florida
has anyone had a chance to review the latest code revisions (ones to be implemented 12/8)? any thoughts?
find a job or post a job opening
you need to specify to which code you are referring.
florida, hence the subject!
building and residential codes to be more descriptive.
well i guess you need a florida engineer to respond. i am in az where we use the ibc 2006.
i'm glad to see the masonry lap splices are being brought back to normal.
scottiesei...am waiting on my copy. i understand we're in for a few changes in the exposure categories and the windborne debris issues.
ron, you can get an idea of what's in the supplement
i agree with the masonry being reeled in. i didn't even think you could get g40 anymore. as far as wind bourne debris and exposure, the only issue i knew with that was in the pan handle region. i do not do much work there. what about intermittent diaphragms? with regards to gable end walls and two story clear sections? i know that some builders use the old school wood on cmu method w/o having the cmu designed as a cantilever wall or a designed diaphragm. it seems that they are cracking down on that a bit as well.
just making sure i read it right - they updated aci-530 to '05 but not the aci-318 - kept aci-318-02?
that's how i took it. we are still in 318-02 for rc. has anyone reviewed the 530-05? i have not yet received my copy. any substantial changes?
