2202 A .1 General. The design, fabrication and erection of structural steel elements and composite structural steel and concrete elements in buildings, structures and portions thereof shall be in accordance with AISC 360. Exceptions : [OSHPD 1 & 4] on Jul 18, 2025 11:14 AM (CDT) THEREUNDER. � � STEEL 1. For members designed based on tension, the slenderness ratio (L/r) shall not exceed 300, except for the design of hangers and bracing in accordance with NFPA 13 and for rod hangers in tension. 2. For members designed based on compression, the slenderness ratio (KL/r) shall not exceed 200,…

2202A.3 Modifications to AISC 341. [OSHPD 1 and 4]

2202A.3 Modifications to AISC 341. [OSHPD 1 and 4] 2202A.3.1 Section A4. Modify Section A4.1 Item (c) by adding the following: (c) Locations and dimensions of protected zones. The fabricator shall permanently mark protected zones of structural elements in the seismic force-resisting system in the building that are designated on the construction documents. If these markings are obscured during construction, such as after the application of fire protection, the owner’s designated representative shall re-mark the protected zones as they are designated on the construction documents.
