This comprehensive yet concise publication provides a convenient reference for regulations in chapters 16 through 35 of the 2003 International Building Code (IBC). The IBC addresses the design and installation of building systems through requirements that emphasize performance. The content is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of materials and building designs. Provisions are provided for structural and fire- and life-safety covering seismic, wind, accessibility, egress, occupancy, roofs, and more are included. The code provides comprehensive minimum regulations for building systems using prescriptive- and performance-related provisions. The 2003 International Building Code Commentary includes the full text of the Code, in addition to notes and explanations of the Code regulations and implications. This in-depth publication focuses on providing the full meaning and implications of the 2003 IBC and is designed to suggest the most effective method of application, as well as the consequences of not adhering to the code. This is an excellent reference for code officials, engineers, architects, inspectors, plans examiners, contractors and anyone who needs a better understanding of the 2003 IBC.
