Management in the entertainment industry.

The development of the International Building Code 2024 for temporary structures goes a long way toward defining  the criteria that engineers should use in design. It provides design loads and operational management plans that both the building official and structural engineer can agree on and acknowledges that performance-based criteria for a structure with a limited duration can be achieved safely. The proposed Code has also referenced the operational management plan and inspection criteria specified in ANSI E1.21-2020, “Temporary Structures Used for Technical Production of Outdoor Entertainment Events.” While it is the best of both worlds, it is only one piece of the puzzle.
