3-2.4.3
Structural calculations must include a table of contents.
3-2.4.4 Within the calculations, provide a brief statement describing the structural
system, significant design parameters, and any restrictions that may affect the project
design.
3-2.4.5
Provide all design criteria including the following:
3-2.4.5.1 Loads Include all loadings, forces, temperature changes, induced
settlements, etc. that may affect the design of the structure. The list shall include the
application/location, magnitude, and units of measure for each load.
3-2.4.5.2 Restrictions Include all limiting factors such as deflection limits (horizontal
and vertical), height restrictions, special tolerances for installing or operating equipment,
or other special restrictions that may affect the design of the structure.
3-2.4.5.3 Materials Include all materials to be used and their allowable stress limits,
yield strength, type, grade, class, and all other applicable material properties.
3-2.4.5.4 References Include all criteria, accepted standards, manuals, codes, texts,
papers, or other design information used in the analysis and design that is accepted in a
public domain. All references must be appropriately identified. Abbreviations such as
AISC, ASTM, ACI, etc. are acceptable. When a facility user provides criteria, document
the originator in the calculations.
3-2.4.6 Provide structural calculations for the main framing systems and all beams,
columns, walls, foundations, slabs, bracing, diaphragms, equipment supports, etc., and
component inter-connections to provide a safe, stable, efficient and cost-effective
structural system for the project, considering all design loads and criteria.
3-2.4.7 Provide an adequate number of sketches with sufficient detail to make the
designer's intention clear, concise, and easily understandable. Note all assumptions
and references to codes, standards, criteria, drawings, and computer output.
3-2.4.8 Design for lateral forces must include design calculations for wind, seismic,
and other potential loadings. The construction drawings must depict the governing
design elements based on both seismic and wind design requirements.
3-2.4.9 Computer generated calculations must identify the program name, source,
and version. Provide input data, including loads, loading diagrams, node diagrams, and
adequate documentation to illustrate the design. The schematic models used for input
must show, as a minimum, nodes/joints, element/members, materials/properties, and all
loadings, induced settlements/deflections, etc., and a list of load combinations. Results
must include an output listing for maximum/minimum stresses/forces and deflections for
each element and the reactions for each loading case and combination.
