UBC 2000 Seismic Code

UBC 2000 Seismic Code

UBC 2000 Seismic Code

(OP)
As an equipment manufacture whose equipment is supported by the building structure, we are asked to have our drawings stamped by a local PE for local building approval.

I am hearing many comments on the current changes to the seismic requirements.  There seems to be alot of local inspector interpretation to the new "code".  We currently use UBC 1997 section 16.  Are there any good reference text for the seismic load changes?

RE: UBC 2000 Seismic Code

Try the ICBO website www.icbo.org for either the Handbook to the IBC Structural Provisions, or the 2000 International Building Code.

The 2000 IBC will be the new standard code across the entire US.

RE: UBC 2000 Seismic Code

There are presently two volumes of the Seismic Design Manuals (SDM) Volume I and II) published by ICBO which offer examples and solutions to problems using the provisions of Chapter 16 of the 97 UBC.
