Truss to Truss and Truss to Girder Hangers
Truss to Truss and Truss to Girder Hangers
(OP)
I don't own an IBC book because I design only residential - but I design everything nonetheless.
If anyone has access to a relatively recent IBC, please look up any verbiage about who is responsible for those hangers - is it mentioned at all?
Is it the Struct EOR, or the Truss Mfr?
I am not talking about truss to ledger hangers - I do agree that is for the EOR.

check this site out for public domain copies of building codes (IBC)
https://law.resource.org/pub/us/code/bsc.ca.gov/
Also - I don't believe that the IBC actually dictates who does what. (I may be wrong).
But we had a past thread here once that discussed the breakdown of truss mfr. vs. EOR.
Here's the thread: thread507-166533: Lateral Wind Loads - Residential Construction
And here's a direct link to the Nevada state board newsletter that discusses this.

Thanks, that last link to the Nevada newsletter was especially useful. I am going to see if my scanner can do that OCR thing it is supposed to, and add my comments.
BTW -
I used to work in Las Vegas. During an expedited plans review at the Bldg Dept there, I left my lunch in a brown paper bag there, in one of their office refrigerators. Someone else took me out to lunch and I forgot to retrieve it.
About 1-1/2 years later, I had since moved to the Phoenix area, and was visiting LV one day to answer some plans review comments. I opened the same fridge out of curiosity, and wow, it was till there.
True Story.

It's a long and gory saga - I am still trying to sort it out w/ the Plans Check & the truss mfr's
Right now, all Struct EOR's need to calculate and show the hangers on our framing plans - grrr
RE: Truss to Truss and Truss to Girder Hangers
I did get somewhere today - one of the homebuilders I deal with shot off a really blunt email to the truss co., and I got a full set of truss layout and calcs, on paper, for a particularly complex house that is in plans check now.
That is a good start.
The definition of a structural engineer: overdesign by a factor of 1.999, instead of the usual 2.
