What buildings can a Civil Engineer Design?
(OP)
I am registered as a civil engineer in California. We are looking at doing some structural work in LA county, and I am trying to determine exactly what type of buildings I am authorized to design. The only restrictions I found on the board's web site was schools and hospitals, but I thought there were other restrictions, like a maximum height. I actually think this was one of the questions on the seismic exam. I guess I might have missed that one.

The excerpt above comes from the 99 COLA Bldg Code..do not have the latest one handy. I believe other major jurisdictions have similar requirements.
If memory serves me right, this was something that was challenged back in the 80s..at a time when the provision might have had something like "...bear signatue or approved stamp of a CA licensed structural engineer..." or words to that effect.

This is the general California requirement. henri2 is right about the City of LA requirements. If your job is at the County of LA, it is best to contact them directly or check the county codes.
