Design not following codes and standards
Design not following codes and standards
(OP)
I'm being asked to look at a proprietary product that was analyzed in a way that is not typical for the type of product. In fact, if you look at it using normal design principles, it doesn't work. Since they didn't follow accepted standards in their original design and analysis, how would one go about proving their design work for their product? Would it require a university study or testing by a certified agency? It is a structural product.

May still be a stretch to get some jurisdictions to accept it.

Also, may ask to have SME or the 3rd party to an evaluation if you aren't comfortable with the product.
