Paragraph U-2(g) of Div. 1 was revised with rules to allow usage of Div. 2 for design methods not provided in Div. 1 as well as other recognized standards or codes. New appendix 46 was created to provide a means for the designer to use the rules given in Div. 2;
Having addressed the functional aspects of the Standard Guardrail, ANSI and OSHA both undertook the characterization of its strength. The OSHA regulations and the ANSI standards have maintained their traditional dogmatic posture of presenting their requirements without providing a basis or explanation that can guide practitioners through the design process. The various codes and standards cited in Table 1 dealing with geometry are summarized in Table 2 with respect to strength characterization.
Codes and standards have attempted to define the structural integrity of fences by specifying the resistance in terms of force alone. For example, a standard guardrail should withstand a 200-pound force applied in every direction at any point on the top rail. From a technical point of view, this early specification does not characterize the structural integrity of the fence. Some of the later codes and standards have added additional requirements,
These additional requirements are not adopted uniformly in the more recent codes and standards. Furthermore, the ANSI standards and the OSHA regulations are often different for the same time periods. There is an extensive literature dealing with the structural integrity of fences that greatly expands on the simplistic treatment presented by ANSI and OSHA. Some of the additional topics include, 2ff7e9595c
