Construction



The following is intended to summarize the notable differences.

CABO

MHCSS

Structural Loads

Design live load for sleeping rooms is 30 psf.

No concentrated load requirement. 


No additional wind resistance requirements for eaves and cornices.

 

Design live load for entire unit is 40 psf.

Floors shall be able to support a one-inch diameter 200 pound concentrated load.

Eaves and cornices are designed to withstand wind loads.  For any hurricane-prone location, MHCSS assigns a higher design wind speed than CABO.
