Special Inspection manual,2021 edition

Description

In extreme natural events such as earthquakes and hurricanes, the most common contributing factor to significant structural damage and building failure is construction that fails to comply with current codes, standards and design documents. Having specialized oversight and increased inspection frequency and duration during construction helps mitigate construction issues. The Special Inspection Manual gives details for required special inspections and structural observation. The manual contains the requirements for special inspections required by the International Building Code and its referenced material standards with descriptions of the required inspections. The book also contains information on creating a special inspection overview program within a building department, including procedures and forms useful in running the program. Additionally, the Manual supports preparation for special inspection certification exams and assists in writing statements of special inspection. Review: Gratitude - Very informative Review: A Must for Special Inspectors - This is an awesome resource for those desiring to become special inspector not just for buildings but also for the steel members of bridges. While you will need the 2024 IBC manual for reference, this book breaks down the sections of the IBC manual.
