Residential Building Codes Illustrated [PDF ebook] 
A Guide to Understanding the 2009 International Residential Code

An easy-to-use illustrated guide to building codes for residential
structures

As the construction industry moves to a single set of
international building codes, architects and construction
professionals need an interpretive guide to understand how the
building code affects the early design of specific projects. This
newest addition to Wiley’s series of focused guides
familiarizes code users with the 2009 International
Residential Code® (IRC) as it applies to residential
buildings. The book provides architects, engineers, and other
related building professionals with an understanding of how the
International Residential Code was developed, and how it is likely
to be interpreted when applied to the design and construction of
residential buildings.

* User-friendly visual format that makes
finding the information you need quick and easy

* The book’s organization follows the
2009 International Residential Code itself

* Nearly 900 illustrations, by
architectural illustrator Steven Juroszek in the style of noted
illustrator and author Frank Ching, visualize and explain the
codes

* Text written by experienced experts who
have been instrumental in gaining acceptance for the new unified
building code

This book is an essential companion to the IRC for both emerging
practitioners and experienced practitioners needing to understand
the new IRC.
