What are the important provisions
related in our subject?
CHAPTER 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Strength 7
Buildings, towers and other vertical
structures and all portions thereof shall
be designed and constructed to sustain,
within the limitations specifies in this
code, all loads set forth in Chapter 2 and
elsewhere in this code, combined in
accordance with Section 203. Design
shall be in accordance with strength
design, load and resistance factor
design and allowable strength design
methods, as permitted by the applicable
material chapters.
Serviceability 7
Structural systems and members thereof
shall be designed to have adequate
stiffness to limit deflections, lateral drifts
vibration, or any other deformations that
adversely affect the intended use and
performance of buildings, towers and
other vertical structures. The design shall
also consider durability, resistance to
exposure to weather or aggressive
environment, crack control, and other
conditions that affect the intended use
and performance or buildings, towers
and other vertical structures.

Analysis 7
Any system or method of construction to
be used shall be based on a rational
analysis on accordance with well
established principles of mechanics that
take into account equilibrium, general
stability, geometric compatibility and
both short term and long-term material
properties. Such analysis shall result in a
system that provides a complete load
path capable of transferring all loads
and forces from their point of origin to the
load-resisting elements.

Foundation Investigation 8
Soil explorations shall be required for
buildings, towers and other vertical
structures falling under categories or as
required by the Building Official or if the
site-specific conditions make the
foundation investigation necessary

Design Review 8
The design calculations, drawings,
specifications and other design-related
documents for buildings, towers and
other vertical structures. The structural
engineer or structural engineers
performing the review shall have
comparable qualification and
experience as the structural engineer
responsible for design
