3308.3.1 Design.
BC § 3308.3.1
Unenclosed perimeter protection shall be designed by a registered design professional to meet temporary loads, including but not limited to wind, as prescribed in Chapter 16. The registered design professional shall take the supporting structure into account when designing the installation and shall include details of connections, anchorages, and supports. The minimum loads for vertical net cables required by Section 3308.5.3 need not be added to wind loads in determining the maximum lateral force, but in no event shall the maximum design load for the cables be less than that required by Section 3308.5.3. A reduction in the surface area due to the openings in vertical or horizontal net fabric or partially enclosed perimeter panel is permitted provided that the force at design wind speed is derived from manufacturers' test data or other testing or methods acceptable to the commissioner.
