BrentG - Thank you for the reply, i see, maybe the codes wont have any major changes between editions, and if they do, it may be made publicly known for professionals so they may act on it. I have not been advised by the facility/municipality regarding requirements with OBC updates.

Hello all,
I am currently conducting a building condition assessment, and have come across building code issues but also recently learned that the building code is not retroactive, meaning that it does not apply to existing buildings, it only applies to new construction. For my project, I see...
Could you please provide a few resources from above? I would like to check them out to see how they are,
I see, I hope to get out to construction sites more frequently,
Thanks for your help
I see, thanks for your reply, I guess the only main resource for getting this knowledge is through experiencing it first hand, questions and see if any engineers in the office can provide information,

That has been a major problem I am experiencing. Engineers are available to answer questions, however...

The previous project he said that the calculations are correct, however, I am not sure whether he has experience regarding OWSJ hand calculations, so maybe the calculations are correct in regards to the CSA code, but not applicable to OWSJ top chord analysis.
This is a major issue with my...
Apologies, I do not know how to reply to a message, maybe you can help me with that also,
Can you provide this SJI design standard? I was only able to find a few equations in the specification publications, not sure whether that is what you are referring to,
Thanks for your reply
Hello All,
I am a junior engineer working in a consulting firm, currently evaluating OWSJ's for a client. I have previous experience regarding OWSJ evaluation, however, I do not believe it made sense so my boss went with the safer option of reinforcing it.
Now I am only evaluating the OWSJ...
