Abstract "When you introduce your students to the International Building Code (IBC), do it with a resource that was designed especially for them -- do it with BUILDING CODE BASICS. Aimed at first-time users of the Code, the book explores its base requirements in a straightforward, easy-to-read format. From technical jargon to the IBC's more complex regulations, it simplifies critical concepts so that students can begin to build a foundation for learning and applying the Code. This valuable guide is based on the 2012 edition of the IBC, making it an up-to-date, step-by-step guide to understanding and applying its provisions."-- www.cengage.com viewed 8/27/12.
