All of the test and inspections listed on the STRUCTURAL TESTS AND INSPECTION SCHEDULE will be called for at one time or another in the plans and specifications submitted to a Building Department. Seldom will one project require all of the tests and inspections shown. The listed items fall into one or the following categories:
- Required by plans and specifications as deemed necessary by the Architect/Engineer for the integrity and successful performance of the project.
- Required by specific reference in the Uniform Building Code, 1997 Edition.
- A combination of 1 and 2
The following lists the Building Code references which bear on each of the tests and inspections in the STRUCTURAL TESTS AND INSPECTION SCHEDULE. Where no Building Code Section is cited, the test or inspection is optional at the discretion of the Architect/Engineer.
