Structural Engineering in Missouri: what governs your project
Southeastern Missouri's Bootheel lies in the New Madrid Seismic Zone — Seismic Design Category D applies there, a rarity in the Midwest — while the rest of the state is wind-governed. Tornadoes are a statewide concern. Ozark karst brings sinkhole risk to foundation design in the south, and expansive clays appear in the glaciated north.
Permitting & plan check
Plan review is local: St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia, and county departments run full review under locally adopted codes. Missouri has no mandatory statewide building code, so rural jurisdictions may have minimal requirements.
Good to know
- The New Madrid earthquakes of 1811–12 remain the largest historic seismic events in the central United States.
- Missouri is the nation's leading producer of lead, mined in the Southeast Missouri Lead District.
- The Ozarks' karst geology makes sinkholes and losing streams a routine design consideration in southern Missouri.
