Uniform Building Code (UBC) 1997 International Conference of Building Officials : ‘1997 Uniform Building Code – Volume 2’, This code was the predecessor of the IBC. It was first published in 1927 to promote public safety and provide standardized requirements for safe construction, primarily in the United States. It was revised every 3 years until the final publication in 1997. In some instances it offers an alternative approach to calculating risk to the IBC, for example for seismic design, that can be used if there is limited data available. http://www.iccsafe.org - external link |
