Understanding the International Building Code (IBC) requirements for non-structural building components is critical to design engineers to maximize safety and minimize exposure to risk and liability.
The IBC Code has been adopted by every state in the country and is unlike previous building code. Prior codes only concerned themselves with equipment attachment to building structures. Equipment performance after a wind, snow seismic or flood event was never properly considered. The IBC code has specific requirements for proper attachment to the building structure for seismic and wind as well as requirements for the online and functioning of equipment and certain types of buildings after extreme environmental loading. This presentations will give a broad overview of the code requirement for project engineers, installing contractors and code officials.
