To cover a existing bad egress into a Model Home in a 55 Older park. Dangerous concrete Platform, stairs, and handrail falling apart from water erosion from bad water shed. Cover it with a a treated wood platform, stairs and handrail. Edward maytum, I'll see what I can find and add. It will be helpful if you can State your country and city is codes very by Authority. Female I think you'll find that a deck built to existing deck codes will also be hose for swimming pool decks.
On by mod - El Cajon CA building reinforcement for seismic? Beth Probably though not to current standards Beth. In California the Field Act, barring un-reinforced masonry construction in California, was passed very quickly following the 10 March Longbeach California earthquake that caused extensive damage including to many school buildings.
Nevertheless, even when I was inspecting earthquake damage in L. Looking at an El Cajon CA building, 8 units, masonry construction. Would it be reinforced if built in the 's? Sorry I don't understand the question; don't know what's meant by a "raised tile deck" - perhaps more description of the design can clarify the question.
In all events, you probably won't find building code citations in the model codes for your country, state or province that include venting details for decks. THat doesn't mean that proper construction and design are not needed; start by identifying the manufacturer of your raised deck system so that we can see what they specify.
Should a square foot raised tile deck, surrounded by structural concrete, have been vented in ? What distance is required between a building and the owners property line? Is there different requirements for resident building and a detached garage or accessory building?
Is a PDF version available? Also, you can pay with cash, check or credit card at the start of class Week 1 and get your books then as well. If you find you need books after Week 1, email info massconstruction-school. Next Class Begins Tuesday, November 30th, We also have a location in Quincy.
FAQs 1. Where special conditions exist, the code official is authorized to require necessary construction documents to be prepared by a registered design professional. The definition in the code for a registered design professional is: an individual who is registered or licensed to practice their respective design profession as defined by the statutory requirements of the professional registration laws of the state or jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed.
As for COM check , there are no requirements as to who can use it and who can create a compliance report, but as to who signs and submits the report, the requirements stated above should be followed. Unfortunately, there is not a way to merge files. The web tool is definitely the way to go when you have multiple contractors involved as you can create a generic log in and each contractor can work on the same project file to enter their information e.
ALL systems in a project must meet the criteria of C In these cases if you want to use the electric central furnace then you have to choose a different additional efficiency package. Equipment shall meet the minimum efficiency requirements of Tables C This section shall only be used where the equipment efficiencies in Tables C All NFRC ratings are based on the whole product, including the frame.
In the same way that some window manufacturers only refer to the center of glass performance and to ignore the thermal bridging through the window frame , door manufacturers have preferred to talk about the door slab only and to ignore the thermal bridging in the frame.
However, Standard The bottom line from a strict These defaults are available in COM check and can be used. They represent very poorly performing doors, which can be an issue for some buildings if the door area is a significant fraction of the wall area. Review input and edit as necessary. The problem most likely relates to the basement walls you have specified.
The DOE-2 simulation program used in RES check for performance alternative calculations sometimes generates this error even though the entries appear valid. As a workaround, we recommend that you split your basement walls so that for each basement wall you add a new above-grade wall to represent the above-grade area of the basement wall. COM check does account for thermal bridging of framing members, furring, etc.
When an assembly is chosen from the drop down lists in the program, there is a U-factor automatically displayed for that assembly excluding fenestration.
Once the user enters the proposed insulation R-value s for the assembly, the program recalculates the assembly and updates the U-factor to the overall U-factor for the entire assembly. Also users have the option to choose "other" as the assembly type. Choose a city that is the closest with the most similar weather. The easiest way to choose county would be to use the web tool which has the option between city and county on the project tab screen. Louvers are best treated as un-insulated portions of the wall.
You can add them as a separate wall type for example, if they are metal, metal building would probably be most appropriate with no insulation but a wall area.
COM check will do the area-weighted averaging for the opaque wall to calculate the overall U of the opaque wall.
This may mean more insulation on the rest of the wall, better windows, or more roof insulation. RES check uses nominal insulation R-values. The program does not calculate for compression. All exterior walls are assumed to be of regular rectangular shape with an average wall height of 9 ft.
The entire wall is assumed to have structural sheathing.
