Huh?

NIST doesn't write building codes or develop the relevant technical standards (i.e. concrete and steel codes). That's how I'm reading.... Mind you I don't read mission statements generally, but from my experience with NIST, they do collapse investigations, probably paired with laboratory work...

Revised link is working in the FAQ, thanks.

Check FBPE, John Pistorino has an article and there’s another as well, I forget that fellow’s name. This isn’t that easy a field to break into and requires mentorship, more or less. There are a few disciplinary actions for bad threshold inspection work as well.

Sorry I got lost at non-structural....

Alright i tried to update it, so now the FAQ is going to disappear (probably briefly). I'll check back later.

FAQ has an article if the link still works. https://www.eng-tips.com/forums/507/faqs/2861

Because they don't need documents to take you to court. They just need to be annoyed enough to take time out of their day and pay a filing fee.

If you aren't in too remote an area, the county property assessor could have information, usually it's online.

Or a link... (I meant you might be able to send somebody a private message if you wanted to let a second set of eyes look at it in beta. Exchange email there so your email remains (vaguely) hard to find for the spammers and the bots.

Why is holding back the photos such a big deal to people? It isn't like you have to have duplicate photos printed from negatives anymore. Zip the file and email it, if not something more sophisticated. You’re unlikely to be able to “resist” production of the photographs in document discovery...

I guess I'll go all spectrum on this, that's a Tomanovich spreadsheet that's "yours" in that you are the EOR and you're using that tool. Any bugs or errors belong to you when you use it, which you most likely know. I'm not aware of any retraction due to an error but I couldn't say which version...

I feel like you're making this more complex than it needs be. Your drawing feels like a flat roof, but you get the idea, perhaps.

Yeah, New Jersey is also highly regulated in home inspection. Plus their insurance requirements, most other states it's very little regulation, no insurance if anything. Home inspection is a different creature, (I'd be shocked if most structural or civil engineers knew the home inspector is...

Maybe. It's kind of frustrating because this kind of question nobody seems to want to put down pencils and do actual calculations, and it's so readily calculable, but we are just missing the appropriate tributary widths and presumed weights and whatnot, (I get people hesitating, but if the OP...

Cheers pham, Looks like another thread where folks didn't "read the manual" on camber. Tolerance on (induced) camber varies with beam length, "natural" camber is a tolerance that also varies with length (I believe installing it "up" is either standard practice or required somewhere in the Code...

This is 100% backwards. Contract ambiguity is generally interpreted by the courts in the favor of the person who did not write the contract. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/contra-proferentem-rule.asp

Give them all the photos.. that's simple enough isn't it? I don't hold photos back in the first place. They don't all go into the report, but I find that "ask if you want the other photos" obnoxious.
