Product Description: The 2006 International Building Code®addresses the design and installation of building systems through requirements that emphasize performance. Fully compatible with all the International Codes, the 2006 edition provides up-to-date, comprehensive coverage that establishes minimum regulations for building systems using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. Content is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of materials and building designs. Structural as well as fire- and life-sfety provisions covering seismic, wind, accessibility, egress, occupancy, roofs, and more are included.
International Building Code loose leaf binder format the Code is the Code, nothing to say about that, but I like the IBC as a loose leaf binder because you can pull out the ratings charts and review/cross-reference different sections of the code without hefting that cumbersome tome. The soft cover bound edition does not offer that option.
horrible required reading The IBC Code is almost unintelligible. It's circular conditional process of determining code compliance is without doubt the most confusing edition of a building code ever adopted in the United States.
good book - too expensive the book is required for much work.
It is a shame that they have to charge so much for a book that should be almost free.
IBC Loose leaf code Like the loose leaf edition the only complaint is that the holes need to be a little bigger.
IBC New Kid on the Block The newest edition of the IBC has finally come up with an easy-to-read version that allows users to easily access information in a familiar format but also allows quick reference and notes the deletion of important paragraphs and sections. I would highly recommend this book for all those in the construction industry. This book is the future of our profession...
