[SML] Bonding seats in California

[Nancy Christian]

I read the same my interpretation is we do not have to fix the seats to the floor since we are a flexible space, tiered, and under 200 seats but I couldn't find anything specific to bonding the seats together when all this applies.



3. Says non-tiered - tied together

4. Says tiered - doesn't have to fix to the floor

>>>So the 2015 IBC - which I believe CA adopts with amendments - says:



1029.14 Seat stability. In a building, room or space used for assembly purposes, the seats shall be securely fastened to the floor.

Exceptions:

3. In a building, room or space used for assembly purposes or portions thereof without ramped or tiered floors for seating and with greater than 200 seats, the seats shall be fastened together in groups of not less than three or the seats shall be securely fastened to the floor.

4. In a building, room or space used for assembly purposes where flexibility of the seating arrangement is an integral part of the design and function of the space and seating is on tiered levels, not more than

200 seats shall not be required to be fastened to the floor. Plans showing seating, tiers and aisles shall be submitted for approval.
