2006 IBC Structural/Seismic Design Manual, Volume 2: Building Design Examples for Light-frame, Tilt-up and Masonry provides a step-by-step approach to applying the structural/seismic provisions of the 2006 International Building Code. This new edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect the latest design methods contained in the 2006 IBC.
The examples in Volume 2 illustrate practical application of requirements for the following structures:
- Wood Light-frame Residence
- Wood Light-frame Three-story Structure
- Cold-formed Steel Light-frame Three-story Structure
- Masonry Shear Wall Building
- Tilt-up Building
- Tilt-up Wall Panel with Openings
Volume 2 also includes wind load examples.
This manual is an invaluable resource for structural and civil engineers, architects, code officials, and students.
From the Preface
This is the second volume in the three-volume 2006 IBC Structural/Seismic Design Manual. It has been developed and funded by the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC). It is intended to provide guidance on the interpretation and use of the seismic requirements in the 2006 International Building Code (IBC), published by the International Code Council.
The 2000 IBC Structural/Seismic Design Manual was developed to fill a void that exists between the commentary of SEAOC's Blue Book, which explained the basis for the code provisions, and everyday structural engineering design practice. The 2006 IBC Structural/Seismic Design Manual illustrates how the provisions of the code are used. Volume 1: Code Application Examples, provides step-by-step examples for using individual code provisions, such as computing base shear or building period. Volumes 2 and 3: Building Design Examples, furnish examples of seismic design of common types of buildings. In Volumes 2 and 3, important aspects of whole buildings are designed to show, calculation-by-calculation, how the various seismic requirements of the code are implemented in a realistic design.
The examples in the 2006 IBC Structural/Seismic Design Manual do not necessarily illustrate the only appropriate methods of design and analysis. Proper engineering judgment should always be exercised when applying these examples to real projects. The 2006 IBC Structural/Seismic Design Manual is not meant to establish a minimum standard of care, but, instead, presents reasonable approaches to solving problems typically encountered in structural/seismic design.
The example numbers used in the prior Seismic Design Manuals - 1997 UBC and 2000 IBC Volume 2 building design example problems have been retained herein to provide easy comparison to revised code requirements.
SEAOC, NCSEA, and ICC intend to update the 2006 IBC Structural/Seismic Design Manual with each new edition of the building code.
