STRUCTURE Magazine recently ran a five-part series of articles summarizing significant structural code changes that the building industry will be seeing as jurisdictions begin adopting IBC 2021.  Part 3 of the series explores code changes and their significance for the following Chapter 17 topics related to special inspections:

• Structural Observations
• Precast Concrete
• Mass Timber
• Structural Integrity of Deep Foundations
• Steel Storage Racks

It is so important that we, as structural engineers, are staying up to date on these changes.  You can find the article here, but don’t forget to join us next week for part 4 of this series.
