The IRC contains many important changes such as: An updated seismic map reflects the most conservative Seismic Design Category (SDC) based on any soil type and a new map reflects less conservative SDCs when Site Class A, B or D is applicable. The townhouse separation provisions now include options for using two separate fire-resistant-rated walls or a common wall. An emergency escape and rescue opening is no longer required in basement sleeping rooms where the dwelling has an automatic fire sprinkler system and the basement has a second means of egress or an emergency escape opening. The exemption for interconnection of smoke alarms in existing areas has been deleted. New girder\/header tables have been revised to incorporate the use of #2 Southern Pine in lieu of #1 Southern Pine. New tables address alternative wood stud heights and the required number of full height studs in high wind areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAuthor: ICC\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: ICC\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN-13: 9781609837372\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy From TextBooksPrepping?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nFast USA shipping.
