Book News Annotation:Patterson (architecture, U. of Oklahoma) sets out to clarify the
sections of the 2000 International Building Code that are most
useful to designers, detailers, estimators, and students. He does not
address specifiers or engineers, and warns that his account is not a
substitute for the code but an aid to understanding it. He disclaims
any sponsorship or approval of his efforts by the International Code
Council, Inc., which owns the code itself. Illustrating how
provisions are manifested in specific building projects, he examines
the use and occupancy classification, heights and areas, types of
construction, fire- resistant-rated construction, means of egress,
and other areas.
