Author: Melvyn Green, S.E. | Size: 3.2 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2011 | pages: 264 | ISBN: 0470195916
Written for architects, engineers, preservation, and code enforcement professionals, this is the only comprehensive book that examines how the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) can be applied to historic and existing buildings. For ease of use, the book is organized to parallel the structure of the IEBC itself, and the approach is cumulative, with the objective of promoting an understanding of the art of applying building regulations to the environment of existing buildings.
The principles of regulating existing buildings are discussed. Basic building information, nonconforming rights, and the code’s approach to change of occupancy are included. The prescriptive, work area, and performance compliance methods of the International Existing Building Code are analyzed. Each method of compliance is described with regard to its application to particular situations, such as repairs, alterations, and change of occupancy. Examples are provided to show signifi cant code issues.
