Commentary to CSA Standard CAN/CSA-S472-92, Foundations
This Commentary applies to the design of foundations for fixed offshore
structures. The term "foundation" is defined as the seabed, any fill, and any
artificial elements (eg, piles or skirts) that penetrate or rest upon these
materials and that in whole or in part support production structures and
facilities. The Standard is divided into subsections that address
(a) site…
1.1 General
This Standard addresses the geotechnical engineering aspects of
(a) gravity-base structures;
(b) fill structures;
(c) fill-retention structures; and
(d) pile-supported structures.
Specific considerations include site investigations, general design principles,
the influences of soil and natural processes on the foundation components, and
the geotechnical factors that…

Low-Burn-Rate Factory-Built Firepla...
1. Scope
1.1
This Standard specifies requirements for the performance testing of
solid-fuel-burning appliances having an air-fuel ratio averaging less than 35:1
as determined by Clause 14. It prescribes a method for determining heat
outputs, appliance efficiencies, emission levels and composition, and flue gas
flow rates for solid-fuel-fired appliances. The Standard also specifies…
