Everyone,
I am attempting to work my way through some relatively recent changes to the State of Tennessee statutes regarding the definition of "structural damage" (see page 2 of the attached document) for sinkhole investigations. As part of the definition, it refers the reader to "building standards for residential construction approved by ANSI" that would cover 1) "variances acceptable" for floor flatness/levelness/deflection/displacement, and 2) "strength and performance requirements... [for] primary structural members and primary structural systems".
W/r/t item #1, I believe some documents which could/would meet this criteria include ANSI A108 American National Standard for Installation of Ceramic Tile and ANSI A117.1 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. My question is, w/r/t #1, are there others I am missing?
Same thing for item #2... which documents/standards specifically are being referred to?
Btw... it's entirely possible this is a trick question and that no more than what I've listed actually exist. I've observed similar legislation in the state of Florida ( which points to items that either don't exist, or aren't relevant/applicable.
Thanks for your help. It is appreciated.
