Ohio version of ASCE 7

[TedEP]

To Ohio PEs: what version of ASCE 7 is referenced by the Ohio Building Code? Is it expected to change soon? Thank you.

TedEP, the last I heard Ohio was putting off updating its code to the 2009 IBC due to the economic hardship it could cause some in these troubling times. So currently Ohio used IBC 2006 which references ASCE 7-05. I am not sure when they are going to make the switch or if they will skip IBC 2009 altogether and jump straight to IBC 2012.
