CBC & IBC-Differences (seismic)
CBC & IBC-Differences (seismic)
(OP)
Are there any major difference between the latest 2013 California BC and ASCE 7-10 for seismic design? I recall that in the previous codes some of the R values were different between the two but I can't seem to find any differences.
I don't reside in CA and use CBC only occasionally.

RE: CBC & IBC-Differences (seismic)
If it is a state owned or leased essential service facility, it may also need to follow the chapter 16A requirements. I can't remember, but all of these classifications are in chapter 1 of the CBC. If you are not familiar with California's matrix adoption tables, the states guidebook might help (a little) http://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/bsc/Title_24/Guide...
