A practical tool that helps you to master the code you deal with everyday! This comprehensive yet concise publication provides a convenient reference for regulations in chapters 16 through 35 of the 2021 International Building Code® (IBC®). The commentary series is presented in an easy-to-understand format. Every chapter begins with “General Comments” and “Purpose” sections followed by code and commentary to subsequent sections, tables and figures. This in-depth publication focuses on providing the full meaning and implications of the 2021 IBC®. The commentaries are designed to suggest the most effective method of application, and the consequences of not adhering to the code. This is an excellent reference for code officials, engineers, architects, inspectors, plans examiners, contractors and anyone who needs a better understanding of the 2021 IBC®.
