The Structural Testing and Inspection Manual was developed by the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC). This helpful manual provides guidance to structural engineers, special inspectors, building officials, and others in the use and interpretation of the special inspection and testing requirements of the 2006 International Building Code® (IBC®).
This companion to the 2006 IBC® Structural/Seismic Design Manuals contains examples taken directly from the design manuals as well as new examples that illustrate construction not covered in the design manuals. Two example buildings are also included that illustrate additional special inspection requirements unique to schools and hospitals designed and constructed under the 2007 California Building Code (CBC).
The examples are organized into four separate sections:
* wood and cold-formed steel buildings
* concrete and masonry buildings
* structural steel buildings
* non-structural components
Each section begins with an overview of the inspection tasks and requirements that are common to all of the examples contained in that section. Each example then goes into detail on the inspection procedures specific to the building used in that example.
This impressive manual was written by a select group of structural engineers, special inspectors, and building officials and overseen by a steering committee established by the SEAOC Board of Directors. The writers were selected for their many years of experience and expertise in special inspection, structural engineering, and construction administration.
