LT289 2003 Analysis of Revisions to the IBC -- Structural Provisions

Item Code: LT289
Date of Publication: 2003
Price: $25.00

This publication analyzes the changes to the 2003 International Building Code structural provisions (Chapters 16 through 23). The 2003 IBC differs primarily from the 2000 IBC in that referenced standards have been updated to reflect the most current standards, and there is an increased reliance on the 2002 edition of ASCE 7 Standard Minimum Design Load for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-02) for prescribing structural loading requirements. This publication provides explanations and guidance on how to use the ASCE 7-02 standard in conjunction with the 2003 IBC as well as thorough discussion of the changes in the updated referenced material standards. Significant revisions to the seismic provisions, which are largely based on changes incorporated into the 2000 NEHRP, revisions to the footing and foundation provisions, and revisions related to shear reinforcement in flat plates are also discussed in this publication.
