Structural Engineering across Georgia
Georgia is a wind-governed state for lateral design, with the coast designing to hurricane wind speeds and the interior designing for thunderstorm and tornado winds. Seismic demand is low statewide. Red clay soils with shrink-swell behavior and variable bearing capacity drive foundation design, and coastal plain soils with high water tables require special attention for deep foundations.
Engineering practice in Georgia is regulated by the Georgia State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Individual PEs must be licensed by the board, and firms providing engineering services must hold a certificate of authorization. Only a Georgia-licensed PE may seal drawings submitted for permit.
Georgia enforces the Georgia State Energy Code for commercial buildings, which is based on the International Energy Conservation Code and ASCE/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1. It is adopted statewide and enforced by local building departments.
Building permits and plan review are handled by city and county building departments under the statewide Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes. Metro Atlanta jurisdictions run electronic review with published checklists; coastal and smaller jurisdictions may have additional local amendments for wind, flood, and marshland protection.
