Does any know if there are any special design requirements (outside of ASCE 7-05 Ch 6 and 12) for an oxygen tank enclosure. Basically, the structure consists of a rectangular CMU wall with a steel gate on one side (to allow access to the oxygen tank). The structure is completely open--no roof...

If they had passed at least 1 exam by this past May, then they would have a 1 year grace period to finish the remaining exams on the old format. Meanwhile, if they hadn't passed any exam by this...
