MSJC (ACI 530) question on veneer

MSJC (ACI 530) question on veneer

MSJC (ACI 530) question on veneer

(OP)
Section 6.2.2.10 in the MSJC (ACI 530) has a requirement that has changed a bit over recent editions.

In the 530-02
   For seismic design category D, this code required masonry anchored veneer to be supported at each level independently at each level. (i.e. relief angles).

In the 530-05
   For SDC D, this requirement was moved to ONLY apply to SDC E and F.  No longer required for SDC D.

My question is - for the 530-08, has this remained the same?  Is the requirement still only applicable to SDC E and F?  

We are designing a project under 02, but was curious as to how this provision has developed over recent editions.

 

RE: MSJC (ACI 530) question on veneer

JAE,

I believe it is the same requirement.  I am looking at ACI 530-08 section 6.2.2.10 and I read it the same... and there are no black lines indicating a code change for this section.
