I'll try to better define my question for an appropriate answer.
Is there a governing code for temporary work like a restrained shoring system for earthwork? Would it be the International Code Council?
What does the code say with regard to deflections of walers in such a system?
I'm working on a shoring system with a waler and raker and am looking for specifications on how much deflection is allowed in the components.
Would l/240 be a good assumption?
