The 2009 IBC Structural/Seismic Design Manual provides a step-by-step approach to applying the structural provisions of the 2009 International Building Code®. Volume 2 contains code application examples of light-frame, tilt-up and masonry construction. Diaphragm flexibility, center of mass, collectors and chords, deflection and anchorage are discussed through examples. In and out-of-plane seismic loads are analyzed as well as wind loads.

Volume 2 includes

Sample structures of wood, cold-formed steel, tilt-up concrete and masonry, including:
•Wood Light-frame Residence
•Wood Light-frame Residence
•Wood Light-frame Three-story Structure
•Cold-formed Steel Light-frame Three-story Structure
•Masonry Shear Wall Building
•Tilt-up Building
•Tilt-up Wall Panel with Openings
•Code and standard references for each example

An excellent reference and study guide for the NCEES Structural Exam. This manual is an invaluable resource for structural and civil engineers, architects, and students. - from Amzon
