THE PRELIMINARY TEXT OF THE PROPOSED RULE DEVELOPMENT IS:
61G15-31.010 Design of aluminum structures
(1) The engineer of record for the structure is responsible for all structural aspects of the structure’s design including the design of the structure’s components and connections, and structural engineering documents.
(2) The structural engineering documents shall include
(a) The project and its location on plan and elevation drawings for a particular site.
(b) Drawings which show all structural components and connection details and/or alternate details.
(c) Material specifications for all structural components and fasteners, including tolerances.
(d) The nature, magnitude, and location of all design loads and the load cases for the structure.
(e) The location and magnitude of the structure’s reactions for each load case.
(3) Supporting structural engineering calculations and documents shall include
(a) Material specifications for all structural components and fasteners.
(b) The support conditions assumed in the design.
(c) Calculations showing the maximum stress, allowable stress, and span to deflection ratio for each structural component type, and calculations showing the maximum force and allowable force for each connection type.
