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? Apologies for this arm-waving but accurate reply Ron but ultimately the final legal authority on code questions is your local building inspector. Her word is law. In the IRC as well as other model codes and adopted building codes deck posts must be mechanically fastened both to the supporting pier below and to the girders or beams above.
On - by mod - requirement that deck posts be mechanically anchored to piers. Apologies David but probably I don't understand the question - as there is no maximum height for a deck or balcony walking surface to grade - after all there are balconies on rooms on high floors of tall hotels and other buildings.
The requirement for footings and Foundations depends on the type of construction which in turn depends on the type of building and its intended use and local codes. For example if someone could build a pole barn and use it for storage and it would not have a conventional footing nor necessarily even a floor slab. If you are seeing signs of building movement such as heating or Frost cracking in a floor then it may be that it wasn't properly constructed. I would like to know the minimum opening widow size for a window from a bedroom.
Does the opening have to be measured to the glass or frame size that is openable? Robert: How to find which building codes applied to your home in a specific year. Start by identifying your country and city.
