107.2 Definitions
The following terms are defined for use in this section:
CONTINUOUS STRUCTURAL INSPECTION is a
structural inspection where the structural inspector is on
the site at all times observing the work requiring
structural inspection.
PERIODIC STRUCTURAL INSPECTION is a
structural inspection where the inspections are made on a
periodic basis and satisfy the requirements of continuous
inspection, provided this periodic scheduled inspection is
performed as outlined in the inspection program prepared
by the structural engineer.
STRUCTURAL INSPECTION is the visual observation
by a structural engineer of a particular type of
construction work or operation for the purpose of
ensuring its general compliance to the approved plans and
specifications and the applicable workmanship provisions
of this code as well as overall construction safety at
various stages of construction.
STRUCTURAL OBSERVATION is the visual
observation of the structural system by the structural
engineer responsible for the design (see Section 107.9.2),
for its general conformance to the approved plans and
specifications, at significant construction stages and at
completion of the structural system.
Structural
107.4.1 Qualifications.
The structural inspector shall be a registered civil
engineer or a qualified person under the supervision of a

operation requiring structural inspection.
107.4.2 Duties and Responsibilities.
The structural inspector shall observe the work assigned
for conformance to the approved design drawings and
specifications.
The structural inspector shall also verify that the as-built
drawings (see Section 106.5) pertaining to the work
assigned reflect the condition as constructed.
The structural inspector shall furnish inspection reports to
the building official, the structural engineer, and other

the immediate attention of the contractor for correction,
then, if uncorrected, to the proper design authority and to
the building official.
The structural inspector shall submit a final report duly
signed and sealed stating whether the work requiring
structural inspection was, to the best of the inspector's
knowledge, in conformance to the approved plans and
specifications and the applicable workmanship provisions
of this code.

code.
107.7.6.3 Certifying Agency.
To be acceptable under this code, every certificate of
approval shall be made by a recognized certifying body or

Partial penetration groove welds when used in column
splices shall be tested either by ultrasonic testing or
radiography when required by the plans and
specifications. For partial penetration groove welds when
used in column splices, with an effective throat less than
20 mm thick, nondestructive testing is not required; for
this welding, continuous structural inspection is required.
107.8.2.3 General.
Base metal thicker than 40 mm, when subjected to
through-thickness weld shrinkage strains, shall be
ultrasonically inspected for discontinuities directly behind

(larger reflector) criteria of approved national standards.
107.8.3 Others.
The structural engineer may accept or require in place
non-destructive testing of concrete or other materials and
