The following sections cover such information as: use and occupancy; building heights and areas; types of construction; fire-resistive construction; interior finishes; means of egress; accessibility; energy efficiency; roof assemblies; structural provisions; special inspections and tests; soils and foundations; building materials and systems; and more.
A complete, user-friendly guide to code-compliant projects Highlights all the significant changes in the IBC Uses clear language and Frank Ching's distinctive illustrations to demystify the International Build Code IBC text Provides students and professionals with a fundamental understanding of IBC development, interpretation, and application Building Codes Illustrated: A Guide to Understanding the International Building Code gives students and professionals in architecture, interior design, construction, and engineering a user-friendly, easy-to-use guide to the fundamentals of the IBC.
This code applies to all buildings except detached one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses up to three stories. The IBC contains many important changes such as: Accessory storage spaces of any size are now permitted to be classified as part of the occupancy to which they are accessory. New code sections have been introduced addressing medical gas systems and higher education laboratories. Use of fire walls to create separate buildings is now limited to only the determination of permissible types of construction based on allowable building area and height.
Where an elevator hoistway door opens into a fire-resistance-rated corridor, the opening must be protected in a manner to address smoke intrusion into the hoistway.
The occupant load factor for business uses has been revised to one occupant per square feet. Live loads on decks and balconies increase the deck live load to one and one-half times the live load of the area served. The minimum lateral load that fire walls are required to resist is five pounds per square foot. Wind speed maps updated, including maps for the state of Hawaii.
Terminology describing wind speeds has changed again with ultimate design wind speeds now called basic design wind speeds. Site soil coefficients now correspond to the newest generation of ground motion attenuation equations seismic values.
Five-foot tall wood trusses requiring permanent bracing must have a periodic special inspection to verify that the required bracing has been installed. New alternative fastener schedule for construction of mechanically laminated decking is added giving equivalent power-driven fasteners for the penny nail. Solid sawn lumber header and girder spans for the exterior bearing walls reduce span lengths to allow 2 Southern Pine design values.
This comprehensive code for homebuilding combines building, plumbing, mechanical, fuel gas, energy, and electrical provisions into a single resource. Using foundational principles that facilitate the use of new materials and building designs to guide the content, this reference guide also establishes minimum regulations using prescriptive provisions.
This updated code includes information on common walls separating townhouses, remodeling of an existing basement, ramps that do not serve the required egress door, and carbon monoxide alarms. Ching and renowned architect Steven R. Winkel deliver a beautifully illustrated and intuitively written handbook for the International Building Code IBC. The authors provide brand new chapters on plumbing fixture counts, elevators, special construction, and existing buildings while updating the remainder of the material to align with recent changes to the IBC.
Easy to navigate and perfect as a quick-reference guide to the IBC, Building Codes Illustrated is a valuable visual resource for emerging professionals. The book also includes: Thorough introductions to navigating the Code, use and occupancy, special uses and occupancies, and building heights and areas Full explorations of the types of construction, fire resistive construction, interior finishes, fire-protection systems, and means of egress Practical discussions of accessibility, interior environment, exterior walls, roof assemblies, and structural provisions In-depth examinations of special inspections and tests, soils and foundations, building materials and systems, and elevators Perfect for students of architecture, interior design, construction, and engineering, the latest edition of Building Codes Illustrated is also ideal for professionals in these fields seeking an up-to-date reference on the International Building Code.

Solid sawn lumber header and girder spans for the exterior bearing walls reduce span lengths to allow 2 Southern Pine design values. The townhouse separation provisions now include options for using two separate fire-resistant-rated walls or a common wall. An emergency escape and rescue opening is no longer required in basement sleeping rooms where the dwelling has an automatic fire sprinkler system and the basement has a second means of egress or an emergency escape opening.
The exemption for interconnection of smoke alarms in existing areas has been deleted.
