If I designed a hangar door for IBC 2006 -> ASCE 7-05 and I need to replace it where the current governing code is IBC 2018 -> ASCE7-16, am I allowed to replace in kind, or do I need to consider the current code in force? Would the answer change for a repair rather than a replacement?
Thanks...
Hello, I need to provide a design to field weld a splice connection between 2 box truss beams that have plated ends. We normally bolt them together, however, the plate hole patterns aren't aligning. I'd like to weld the plates together and was hoping for some feedback on my plan. Any feedback...
