| The Uniform Building Code is the most widely adopted model building code in the world, proven to meet the needs of government units charged with the enforcement of building regulation. The UBC provides complete regulations covering all major aspects of building design and construction relating to fire and life safety and structural safety. The requirements reflect the latest technological advances available in the building and fire- and life-safety industries.
Three Volumes
The provisions of the Uniform Building Code are published in three volumes for the 1997 edition to help building inspectors, plans examiners, architects and structural designers locate provisions applicable to their respective fields without the need to search through all sections.
Volume 1 contains the administrative, fire- and life-safety, and field inspection provisions, including all nonstructural provisions and those provisions necessary for field inspections.
Volume 2 contains provisions for structural engineering design, including design requirements, text, inspections and foundations.
Volume 3 contains the remaining material, testing and installation standards. |
