2007 California Building Code Implemented

Posted by Adam Wilson in Company Information on January 11th, 2008

In order to ensure compliance with the 2007 California building code, we have added this code as a selection
for StruCalc users. This code can now be accessed by going to the main menu and selecting:

Utilities > Settings > Code > and selecting the 2007 California Building Code using the drop down list titled Building Code

 StruCalc Settings

Doing so ensures we will use all up to date calculations and stress values that have went into affect
for the 2007 California Building Code January 1st, 2008.

It’s a minor addition to our software but it will alleviate any fears our California users may have when submitting StruCalc spec sheets to building officials.

Just another example of how StruCalc strives to keep our users on the cutting edge of design today! View more about this exciting code change in our article about the 2007 California Building Code
