Between the 2003 and 2006 IBC Editions

By Doug Thornburg,
John Henry

This publication is a “must-have” for anyone who uses the International Building Code®!

It enables readers to easily identify the significant changes that occurred between the 2003 IBC and 2006 IBC editions, and provides an analysis of the effect each change has had on the code’s application.

Coverage reflects those provisions with special significance, including new and innovative design ideas and technologies, modern materials and methods of construction, and current approaches to fire safety, life safety, and structural stability. Useful to architects, engineers, inspectors, building and fire department personnel, and countless others in the construction industry, this outstanding resource is a one-stop guide to the many important changes in the 2006 International Building Code.

Features:

  • assists users in identifying the specific code changes that have occurred by comparing the previous code language to the new text and, more importantly, providing an understanding of why the code changed
  • logically organized content follows the general layout of the IBC, with a Table of Contents that allows for quick identification of the significant code changes that occurred in the 2006 Edition
  • most changes are accompanied by a photograph or illustration to further assist and enhance the reader's understanding of the specific change, along with a discussion of the significance of the changes
  • provides the basis for making an easy transition to the new Code, while also serving as a valuable historical reference for years to come in reviewing how and when the code has evolved
