What version of ASCE 7 is the 2015 IBC based on? I have recently started to review the new building code and in the 2013 building code in the "Effective Use of the IBC/CBC" in the Structural Provisions section the ASCE 7 version was listed.
There was also a table in this section for each material type. In this table was listed the referenced standard for the different types of materials. For example, Wood design was based on AF&PA NDS-12 and AF&PA SDPWS-08. I do not see this table in the new code. I picked this example specifically because it referenced standards from two different years.
Is this information now located in a different place?
Is it up to me to know what the current code for each material type was in 2015 at the time the IBC was published?
I would like to buy the new standards I want to make sure I am purchasing the version the 2015 IBC is based on.
I also posted this in the Codes forum, but then thought I might get a better response here (hopefully that is not violating any forum rules, if so maybe a moderator can delete this post).
