Interpreting Model Building Code Requirements for Repairs to Existing Structures
This paper discusses the requirements of the "Existing Structures" provisions of various model building codes and how the requirements relate to repairs of existing buildings. Some of the common misconceptions with regard to interpretation of these provisions will be discussed. Theoretical and actual examples from past projects are provided to demonstrate varied interpretations of this portion of the code by practicing engineers.
