asce 7-98 & 7-02...
florida building code's cor for wind loads is 7-98 and specifies table 6-12 for screen enclosures. i currently have 7-02 and the table numbers have changed (no table 6-12).
can someone with both 7-98 and 7-02 please tell me what table 6-12 corresponds to in the 7-02 edition? thanks.
check you're info - fbc has revised the cor to 7-02 in the 2005 supplement(already effective):
willisv-
the work is being done in broward county, and their cor is 2001. i had asked them about the their references to the 2005 code, but the one of the staff engineers assured me the current applicable code is 2001. so, i am using that code.
i also checked with the local building dept in that county (coral springs) and they too verified 2001.
thanks though.
wouldn't the state building code override the local?
selarose,
responding to your question:
asce 7-98 table 6-12 is the table for force coefficients, cf for open signs and lattice frameworks.
in asce 7-02, the same table appears as table 6-21. there are no changes from the 98 version.
regards,
chichuck
thanks chichuck.
i actually went back and checked again to see which code was current. low and behold, as of october 1, 2005 the 2004 fbc is now current. i called the county and told them and they "didn't know about it" and would get back to me. yeah, government.
