We will explore how code is adopted, what are the bounds of OSSC, and where the code breaks down. We would also discuss how to apply engineering judgment in ambiguous situations.
We will talk about how to tackle serviceability items such as fire requirements, deflection, and vibration criteria, as well as some of the construction field-fix items such as bowstring truss repair, etc.ly engineering judgment in ambiguous situations.
