APPENDIX lI,— DRAFT CLAUSES FOR INCORPORATION IN A UNIFORM CODE FOR THE DOMINION. NOTE. —These draft clauses are not in by-law form and are subject to alteration. They are issued for discussion only, pending the preparation of a Dominion Building Code. It is intended, however, that the General Earthquake Building By-law should be adopted immediately. Caution. —The working unit stresses now proposed are in some important instances substantially higher than those at present in general use. It is important, therefore, that a competent structural engineer be engaged on all buildings of any considerable magnitude. The engineer must have made a studv of the resistance of monolithic frames to combined vertical and horizontal forces, and should have some control over the inspection during construction. The workmanship must be up to best engineering practice.
