aci 318-02 app. d + special inspection
anchorages to concrete
using allowable design/table 1912.2 in the 2003 ibc, if i require special inspection, i can take a 100% increase in the loads given in table 1912.2 (1912.5). if i do not want special inspection, then i can not increase the values.
when i jump to the strength design, i must go to appendix d. i can not find any provision similar to the allowable section where i can decide whether or not to require special inspection.
is there a provision in the 2003 ibc or aci 318 that allows me to choose whether or not to use special inspection when using strength design?
other information:
in the 1997 ubc, section 1923.2 allowed a designer to multiply the load factors by 2 if no special inspection is provided and 1.3 multiplier if special inspection is provided. if they allowed it in the 97 ubc, where did it go in the 2003 ibc? i was hoping it would be addressed in the ibc commentary, but no luck.
this is a very small job and i would prefer not to require special inspection on the anchor bolts.
