GENERAL. General: The structural criteria established herein shall be used for
structural loading, design and installation of all structural systems and foundations, including
manufacturing, erection, supervision, testing, and quality assurance of the completed
installation of the buildings. All structural calculations shall be checked and initialed as such by
a registered engineer other than the original design engineer. Construction Documents
(drawings and specifications) shall be sealed and signed by a Professional Engineer registered
and licensed to perform work in the jurisdiction.

STRUCTURAL WORK. The structural work generally consists of, but is not limited
to, design and construction of:
6-2.1
Building Foundations. Spread footings, piles, drilled piers or others as required by
the geotechnical investigation.
6-2.2
Ground floor slab systems. Slab on grade, pile supported or framed over crawl space
as recommended by the geotechnical investigation.
6-2.3
Load Bearing and Nonload Bearing Walls, including masonry, concrete, or stud wall
construction acting as primary vertical load carrying members and/or shear walls.
6-2.4
Vertical Framing Members, including steel and concrete columns, masonry pilasters
or wood construction.
