C2) 2022 OSSC – Simplified Structural Plan Review
Chris Kimball, PE, SE, FPE, MCP, Co-Founder Building Code Solutions, Inc. (BCS)
Thursday, April 17 | 8:30 am – 4:00 pm Holiday Inn Portland South – Wilsonville, OR
Class Description
This seminar provides a step-by-step approach for performing a structural plan review to ensure that projects conform to the structural requirements of the 2022 OSSC (Oregon Structural Specialty Code). The review process provided is strictly for residential to moderately sized commercial projects, as larger projects may require a more extensive structural review.
The seminar does not teach how to perform structural calculations but rather explains how to verify the project’s design assumptions and overall compliance with the building code. Many examples will be given throughout in addition to sample plan review comments.
Class begins promptly at 8:30 am and ends by 4:00 pm and offers six hours of continuing education units/credit. A hot breakfast and lunch, all-day coffee and refreshments will be provided to registered attendees.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the key structural requirements noted in the OSSC.
- Gain an understanding of the requirements from key referenced standards.
- Discuss an approach for performing structural plan reviews.
