4-2.1 GENERAL:
General principles of economy in the design of a
building structure should apply to the design of club facilities.
The
diversity in range of total building sizes and individual space areas is
s u c h that each buiIding design should be considered on an individual
basis.
M i n i m u m design requirements for structural design are established
in
DOD 4270.1-M, Section 6-3, and TM 5-809-1 through 11 series which

specifications related to specific materials.
