Structural Systems. 4.1 The inspector shall:
A. inspect:
1. structural components including visible foundation and framing.
2. by probing a sample of structural components where deterioration is suspected or where clear indications of possible deterioration exist. Probing is NOT required when probing would damage any finished surface or where no deterioration is visible.
B. describe:
1. foundation(s).
2. floor structure(s).
3. wall structure(s).
4. ceiling structure(s).
5. roof structure(s).
C. report:
1. on conditions limiting access to structural components.
2. methods used to inspect the under-floor crawl space
3. methods used to inspect the attic(s).
4.2 The inspector is NOT required to:
A. provide any engineering service or architectural service.
B. offer an opinion as to the adequacy of any
Structural Systems. The selection of the structural system should be given careful consideration. Structural Steel or Reinforced concrete either ‘cast in place’ or precast can be used. Hybrid structures comprising part in situ and part precast and/or pre- stressed or composite construction where in situ concrete is bonded over a precast under-deck can be provided. Structural steelwork can also be used as a framework of columns and beams and also for resisting vehicle impact, but the decks and internal walls shall be constructed using concrete. The Structure shall be designed and constructed so as to have a life expectation exceeding 60 years. The choice of construction forms shall be based on considerations such as site layouts, problems of access to the construction site, construction programme, constraints of space, material transportation problems, Openness and perceived headroom and local availability of product and labor.
Structural Systems. Manager shall perform the housekeeping services for structural systems described in the NPA Manual, pages 6, and the inspection services for structural systems described within the preventative maintenance section of the NPA Manual on pages 19 and 30-31 in a manner consistent with the Housekeeping and Maintenance Schedule.
Structural Systems a. Repairing exposed or unexposed elements of the structural system by augmenting or upgrading individual parts or features using recognized preservation methods. For example, weakened structural members such as floor framing can be paired with a new member, braced, or otherwise supplemented and reinforced.
b. Replacing in kind those visible portions or features of the structural system that are either extensively deteriorated or missing is approved when there are surviving prototypes and the replacement matches the old in material, design, color, and texture.
c. Using substitute materials may only be considered for unexposed structural elements, such as roof rafters or trusses.
Structural Systems i. All elements shall be modeled as they are to be built. i.e. model individual slabs per the way they are to be poured
ii. All foundations, caissons, and grade beams based on their actual sizes and shown at the correct top and bottom elevation based on the project origin.
iii. All structural walls
iv. All structural columns
v. All structural decks, beams and joists. Joists shall be modeled when possible as outlined in the project LOD worksheet using model elements provided by the project joist supplier. Joist openings shall match the fabricated locations for use in the coordination process.
vi. All lateral and diagonal bracing
vii. All openings in structural walls and decks
viii. Structural concrete and steel stairs including their related components e. MEPF Systems

2. by probing a sample of structural components where deterioration is suspected or where clear indications of possible deterioration exist. Probing is NOT required when probing would damage any finished surface or where no deterioration is visible.

Structural Systems. 3.9.2.1 The structural system for the suspended floors and main roof is to be wood-based. Acceptable systems include but are not limited to laminated mass timber panels or hybrid systems on heavy timber beams or other timber steel/ hybrid structural systems that will provide the required performance for ductility, flexibility for change, vibration resistance, fire rating, acoustic separation, adequate space for services, and overall Facility height.
3.9.2.2 Reinforced cast-in–place concrete construction will be used for raft slabs or slabs on grade.
3.9.2.3 Lateral seismic and wind loads on the Facility will be resisted by reinforced concrete shear walls or heavy timber bracing or other systems located at stair and elevator cores and at exterior walls. Mass timber forming a structural core may be considered if structural compliance can be demonstrated. Shear walls and bracing shall be avoided within interior spaces in order to leave flexibility for future changes.
3.9.2.4 Post tensioned or precast concrete structural systems shall not be used.
3.9.2.5 Roofs will be timber or heavy timber construction. Structural steel open web joists shall not be used for roofs or floors.
3.9.2.6 All timber structures meet fire protection requirements in the BCBC proven by a recognized testing method subject to the Authority’s approval. (Such as accounting for charring of wood or encapsulating wood structures with finishes). Ensure all metal connections, fasteners, mechanical and electrical chases, conduits and penetrations through timber elements meet fire protection requirements.
