ICC FL-HRRC-GUIDELINES-2001

This guideline from the institute for Business Housing Safety (IBHS) is intended to provide a set of specifications that is more consistent with the International Building Code (IBC) and ASCE 7 wind loads, wind speed maps, and conventions. This effort was prepared as a rapid response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to facilitate reconstruction efforts. Consequently, conversions have been prepared based on general relationships. The wind loads in the late 1990s editions of the Standard Building Code are reasonably consistent with ASCE 7 design loads for building located in suburban or forested terrain. This guideline uses nominal adjustments of wind speeds and wind loads from the Standard Building Code to ASCE 7 in accordance to Section 1609.3.1 of the IBC. (Approx. 154 pages, soft-cover)
