Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 61G15-31.002 - Definitions
(1) Engineer of Record. The Florida licensed
professional engineer who develops the overall structural design and the
structural design criteria for the structure, and is responsible for the
preparation of the structural engineering documents.
(2) Structural Component. An individual
structural member or element designed to be part of the structure or structural
system. This definition of component should not be confused with any other
published definitions.
(3)
Structure. The entity to be built.
(4) Structural System. A portion of a
structure comprising an assembly of structural components which carry and
transmit loads.
(5) Structural
Engineering Documents. The structural drawings, specifications and other
documents setting forth the overall design and requirements for the
construction, alteration, repair, removal, demolition, arrangement and/or use
of the structure, prepared by and signed and sealed by the engineer of record
for the structure. Structural engineering documents shall identify the project
and specify design criteria both for the overall structure and for structural
components and structural systems. The drawings shall identify the nature,
magnitude and location of all design loads to be imposed on the structure. The
structural engineering documents shall provide construction requirements to
indicate the nature and character of the work and to describe, detail, label
and define the structure's components, systems, materials, assemblies, and
equipment.
(6) Structural
Submittals. Submittals required by the structural engineering documents which
do not require the seal of a professional engineer, such as:
(a) Drawings prepared solely to serve as a
guide for fabrication and installation and requiring no engineering input such
as reinforcing steel shop drawings, and structural steel, steel joist and joist
girder erection drawings.
(b)
Catalog information on standard products not fabricated for a specific
project.
(7) Structural
Delegated Engineering Documents. Documents prepared by a delegated engineer to
whom the engineer of record for the structure has delegated responsibility for
the design of a structural component or system.
(8) Specialty Engineer. A licensed
professional engineer, who is not the structural engineer of record, who
provides engineering criteria or designs necessary for the structure to be
completed. The specialty engineer may be a delegated
engineer.
