2015 IRC Essentials - Code Administration and Site Development

Did you know that the International Residential Code® (IRC®) is a comprehensive, stand-alone residential code that establishes minimum regulations for the construction of one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses up to three stories in height, including provisions for fire and life safety, structural design, energy conservation and mechanical, fuel-gas, plumbing and electrical systems? These codes serve primarily to protect the safety and welfare of the building occupants and the public. In addition to providing a better understanding of the code provisions and their development, the additional content of this course is organized to correspond to the order of construction, beginning with sitework. Structural topics include conventional footings and foundations (including the fundamentals of soil capacity).
