12.8 Seismic Isolation Systems (Section 1705.12.8).
12.9 Cold-Formed Steel Special Bolted Moment Frames (Section 1705.12.9) Not required in
Michigan unless required by the Design Professional.
13. Testing for Seismic Resistance (Section 1705.13) – Testing for seismic resistance shall be
required as specified in Sections 1705.13.1 through 1705.13.4, unless exempted from special
inspections by the exception of Section 1704.2.
Please note: The requirements for Testing for Seismic Resistance in the sub-categories below
depend on the assigned Seismic Design Category as determined by Section 1613.3.5 for seismic
force-resistance systems of building and structures, &/or systems.
13.1 Structural Steel (Section 1705.13.1) – Non-destructive testing for seismic resistance shall
be in accordance with Sections 1705.13.1.1 or 1705.13.1.2 as applicable.
13.1.1 Seismic Force-Resisting Systems (Section 1705.13.1.1), or
13.1.2 Structural Steel Elements (Section 1705.13.1.2).
13.2 Nonstructural Components (Section 1705.13.2).
13.3 Designates Seismic Systems (Section 1705.13.3).
13.4 Seismic Isolation Systems (Section 1705.13.4).
14. Sprayed Fire-Resistant Material (Section 1705.14) – Special Inspections and Testing for
sprayed fire-resistant materials applied to floor, roof and wall assemblies and structural elements
shall be in accordance with Sections 1705.14.1 through 1705.14.6. Special Inspections shall be
based on the fire-resistance design as designated in the approved construction documents.
Special Inspections shall be performed after the rough installation of electrical, mechanical,
plumbing and automatic sprinkler systems.
15. Mastic and Intumescent Fire-Resistant Coatings (Section 1705.15) – Special Inspections and
Testing for mastic and intumescent fire-resistant coating applied to structural elements and decks
shall be in accordance with AWCI 12-B as indicated in Section 1705.15. Special Inspections and
Testing shall be based on the fire-resistance design as designated in the approved construction
documents.
16. Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (Section 1705.16) – Special Inspections shall be
required for all EIFS applications in accordance with Section 1705.16. Section 1705.16 provides
exceptions to Special Inspections when EIFS is applied over water-resistive barriers with a
means for draining excess water, and when EIFS is installed on masonry or concrete walls. The
ICC Evaluation Report for the selected EIFS system may require Special Inspections.
17. Fire Resistant Penetrations and Joints (Section 1705.17) – Special Inspections shall be
required in high-rise buildings or in buildings assigned Risk Category III or IV per Section
1604.5. Special Inspections for through-penetrations, membrane penetration fire-stops, fire
resistant joint systems, and perimeter fire barrier systems are outlined in Section 1705.17.
18. Testing for Smoke Control (Section 1705.18) – Specific areas requiring Special Inspections
are listed in Section 1705.18.
