US and Canadian Code Compliance: AISC, IBC, and Local Standards
For United States and Canadian buyers, Jidian engineers structures to comply with applicable North American standards. AISC 360 (Specification for Structural Steel Buildings) governs steel structure design in the US, with load combinations per ASCE 7. The International Building Code (IBC) references AISC 360 for structural steel design. For Canadian projects, CSA S16 (Design of Steel Structures) governs. Jidian's engineering team can provide structural calculations using these standards when specified during inquiry. Key compliance areas include seismic design categories (A through F per ASCE 7), wind loads per ASCE 7-16 (with exposure categories B, C, or D), snow loads per ASCE 7 (ground snow load by location), and fire protection requirements per IBC. For US and Canadian projects, Jidian provides structural calculation reports, material specifications, and connection designs compliant with AISC or CSA standards. Mill certificates are provided per EN 10204 Type 3.1 or ASTM A6. Note that some jurisdictions may require a local licensed engineer to review and stamp calculations-Jidian provides complete design documentation for this review process.
