Old codes/reference books
Old codes/reference books
(OP)
Hi, I’m in the process of moving on to a new company and am trying to clean/purge my soon-to-be old office. I have a number of old codes (ASCE 7-05, ACI 318-02/05/08 etc etc) and reference books for old codes (books on masonry design per the 2009 IBC, seismic design per 2012 IBC etc). I hate to just toss those things out but I have been known to be a packrat. I’m wondering what other people do with their old codes and reference books?

If you want to sell, I'm interested. Let me know list of publications and contact info.

Also, weird things happen that makes some old codes still relevant. For example, AASHTO LRFD 7th edition w/2016 interims references ACI 318-05 appendix D for anchor bolt design.

Honestly though, I work in forensics and structural repairs. The old codes fill my library. Sometimes I need to know why an engineer from 1980, 1940, 1920, etc.. detailed something the way they did. Sometimes I have to write reports or letters explaining the code provision.
