New Editions of Structural/Seismic Series Due in September

The International Code Council has again partnered with the Structural Engineers Association of California to publish a series of Structural/Seismic Design Manuals updated to the 2012 International Building Code (IBC). Each volume provides a step-by-step approach to applying the structural provisions of the 2012 IBC and referenced standards. Now expanded to five volumes, the series includes:

• Volume 1 Code Application Examples
• Volume 2: Examples for Light-Frame, Tilt-Up, and Masonry Buildings
• Volume 3: Examples for Concrete Buildings
• Volume 4: Examples for Steel-Framed Buildings
• Volume 5: Examples for Seismically Isolated Buildings and Buildings with Supplemental Damping

Each volume is an excellent reference and study guide for the NCEES Structural Exam. The manuals are invaluable resources for civil and structural engineers, architects, academics, and students. Save with the ICC Early Bird discount through Sept. 30.

New and Updated Seminars from ICC Training & Education

Significant Changes to the International Energy Conservation Code 2012 Edition
The purpose of Significant Changes to the International Energy Conservation Code 2012 Edition is to familiarize individuals with the many significant changes in the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) from 2009 to the 2012 edition of the code. This course is designed to assist code users in identifying the specific code changes that have occurred and, more importantly, understanding the reasons behind the change. This course will review each of the significant code changes approved by the International Code Council members and provide examples of how these provisions are applied. Extensive review of changes to many of the chapters will assist code officials and other professionals understand the intent and application of the new or revised requirements in the 2012 IECC. Read more on this new seminar.

2012 IRC Wood Wall Bracing
This seminar provides a comprehensive explanation of the 2012 International Residential Code (IRC) bracing requirements. The seminar will focus on basic requirements and clarify the application of wall bracing provisions in the IRC wall bracing Sections R602.10 thru R602.12. 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. Read more on this new seminar.

2012 IBC Fire and Life Safety Principles
This seminar addresses the critical concepts of the 2012 International Building Code (IBC) regarding fire and life safety issues. 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.
