Read more on this new seminar. 2012 IBC Code Conforming Wood Design Wood construction offers distinct design options typically not found in a single structural material. It is inexpensive, readily available, easy to work with, strong and adaptable. The economic, environmental and energy efficiency advantages account for more buildings being constructed of wood than any other structural material. The intent of this course is to summarize allowable wood use in buildings in accordance with the International Code Council 2012 International Building Code (IBC). Emphasis will be placed on the design flexibilities permitted for wood in commercial construction.

These concepts provide a basis for the correct use of the code in building planning, classification of buildings and occupancies, fire-resistance-rated construction, fire protection systems and means of egress. The content addresses issues that are necessary for many designs and plan review decisions. Read more on this new seminar. 2012 IBC Means of Egress The goal of this workbook is to provide an overview of the fundamental means of egress requirements in the 2012 International Building Code (IBC). The reader will be presented with specific problems related to means of egress and will be asked to solve each problem using a set of plans for a four story college classroom/office building.
