2009 IBC handbook
"How often have you heard these questions when discussing bulding codes 'what is the intent of this section?' or, 'how do I apply this provision?'. This publication offers the code user a resource that addresses much of the intent and application principles of the major design provisions of the 2009 International Building Code (IBC)" The author discusses administrative, fire and life-safety and inspection components, and adresses in depth the means of egress, occupancy classification, building height and area, fire protection systems, fire and smoke protectives, mixed occupancies and type of construction requirements contained in the IBC.
