Abstract:
All new parking structures in California are required to be wired for photovoltaic installations, resulting in conduit requirements that are excessive for some slabs. These conditions can seriously impair the structural load path and create an unanticipated structural hazard. The California State University (CSU) system’s Seismic Review Board developed interim conduit placement requirements for CSU projects.
