table book for construction
|
|
|
| hey ppl,
i am a dutch construction engeneer. my profession is calculating the
dimensions of structures. Next year i will leave holland for the sunny
caribean. I ve heard that they use the American regulations there, so i am
very interested in those regulations.
in holland we use a summary of the regulations who are needed for
calculating structures, we named that "Tabellen voor de bouw" (translated:
tables for constructions). that is a book within all rules has been
summarised.
i hope that there is such thing for american aims. please help me to get
such thing.
i will think you all in advance!
Emiel

Unfortunately, things are not quite so simple in the US. The local
jurisdiction can adopt any one of several possible building codes. You
will need to find out which code has been adopted in order to order the
correct publications.

| Bob Morrison has, as usual, answered the question.
Your descrption of your work raises a question for me.
Do you do what the English call quantity surveys?
I'm not even clear what that includes, but "calculating the dimensions
of structures" leaves me without a clue.

Maybe Bob's reply into hacked up Dutch with bad grammer and spelling:
Het is niet so makelijk in the US. Elke doorp heeft zijn 'building
codes', Je moot wejten welk 'building codes' je hebt nodig zo dat je de
goede 'publication' ken bestellen.

That will depend on where you are in the Caribbean. Which island are
you moving to?

i understand. that is becouse the US is such a big country with such big
differents in weather that is isn't possible to summarised all rules into
one single code.
i move to st maarten, that's an isle that should be liable to Hurricanes.
the last big one that strikes st maarten is luis. So i think that the code
should be equal to an american code around those huricane places. the code
should cover hurricane proof structures.

No worries - you're coming across loud and clear, you gekke
nederlander! ;)
As others have said, there are different codes in effect in different
areas, and that's within the US. The Carribean islands will similarly
have different codes.
More info, better answers.

You will probably want to use something similar to the building code used
in Florida.
Or you could use the high wind provisions contained in the International
Building Code.
