IBC 06 vs IBC 09-Seismic & Wind load changes 2

[WWTEng]

Are there any differences between 60 & 09 IBC codes for lateral loads? Since they both refer to ASCE 7-05, I think there shouldn't be any difference.

IBC 60 hasn't come out quite yet, so I cannot answer your querstion.

Pretty sure 06 was meant.

Yup, I meant 06.

The big changes come with IBC 2012 when ASCE 7-10 is referenced. Very few changes between IBC 2006 & 2009

There was a supplement to ASCE 7-05 that changed an equation here or there. Look for that supplement! I think those are the only changes.
