Description
 
No matter what code you're using . . . no matter where your project is located . . . this reference is essential for designing, building, or inspecting, using the latest building codes. This new second edition (formerly titled, From Model Codes to the IBC: A Transitional Guide) provides expert guidance on the latest building codes for architects and engineers, building officials and AHJs, contractors and homebuilders, and manufacturers and building owners. It provides complete coverage of the new 2003 International Building Code (IBC), with expert advice and comprehensive comparison to the 2000 IBC and model building codes.

In this edition, Rolf Jensen and Associates, Inc., the leading U.S. building code consultants, worked with the International Code Council to present a user-friendly, side-by-side comparison of the model building codes, the 2000 International Building Code, and the 2003 International Building Code. The 2003 International Building Code revisions are extensive and include new construction methodologies, life safety and property protection provisions, and structural requirements. Additions to the new 2003 International Building Code that are covered in this book include:

  • Changes in numbering system and format.
  • Alignment of 2003 International Building Code with HUD "Safe Harbor" requirements.
  • Frame construction and testing for sloped glazing and skylights.
  • Separation between private garages and dwelling units.
  • Smoke partitions, through penetrations, and new wall assemblies.
  • New fire alarm and sprinkler system requirements.
  • Seismic requirements and wind load design methods.
  • Cold-formed steel in light frame construction.
  • Site grading, excavation, and earthwork.
This comprehensive guide is designed for ease of use and includes:
  • A Quick-Find Index that lets users instantly identify the International Building Code equivalent to model codes they are familiar with (Uniform Building Code, BOCA National Building Code, and Standard Building Code)
  • Side-by-Side Comparison that spells out differences between model code requirements and the 2003 and 2000 versions of the International Building Code
  • Expert Advice on Implementation from Rolf Jensen and Associates' engineers and the International Code Commission
  • New Illustrations to clarify 2003 International Building Code requirements
