2015 IBC Essentials - Structural Safety

Many structural forces are placed on a building over the intended life of the structure. Natural or environmental forces, as well as man-made loads, are placed on the building. The basic design parameters outlined in the code for the design of a structure provide a minimum standard to ensure that the building withstands the forces applied to it. In this interactive online course, you will learn about how the International Building Code® (IBC®) regulates the structural design of buildings, as well as how it regulates the kinds of materials used in the construction of buildings.
