The person who is serious about effectivelydesigning, constructing and regulating buildings and structures will find the Commentary to be a reliable data source and reference to almost all components of the built environmentAs a follow-up to the International Building Code, we offer a companion document, the International Building Code Commentary—Volume II. Volume II covers Chapters 16 through 35 and the appendices of the 2012 International Building Code.The basic appeal of the Commentary is thus: it provides in a small package and at reasonable cost thorough coverage of manyissues likely to be dealt with when using the International Building Code — and then supplements that coverage with historicaland technical background. Reference lists, information sources and bibliographies are also included.Throughout all of this, effort has been made to keep the vast quantity of material accessible and its method of presentationuseful. With a comprehensive yet concise summary of each section, the Commentary provides a convenient reference for regulations applicable to the construction of buildings and structures. In the chapters that follow, discussions focus on the full meaningand implications of the code text. Guidelines suggest the most effective method of application, and the consequences of notadhering to the code text. Illustrations are provided to aid understanding; they do not necessarily illustrate the only methods ofachieving code compliance.The format of the Commentary includes the full text of each section, table and figure in the code, followed immediately by thecommentary applicable to that text. At the time of printing, the Commentary reflects the most up-to-date text of the 2012 International Building Code. As stated in the preface to the International Building Code, the content of sections in the code whichbegin with a letter designation (i.e., Section [P]2903.1) are maintained by another code development committee. Each section’snarrative includes a statement of its objective and intent, and usually includes a discussion about why the requirement commandsthe conditions set forth. Code text and commentary text are easily distinguished from each other. All code text is shown as itappears in the International Building Code, and all commentary is indented below the code text and begins with the symbol .Readers should note that the Commentary is to be used in conjunction with the International Building Code and not as a substitute for the code. The Commentary is advisory only; the code official alone possesses the authority and responsibility for interpreting the code.Comments and recommendations are encouraged, for through your input, we can improve future editions. Please direct yourcomments to the Codes and Standards Development Department at the Chicago District Office.The International Code Council would like to extend its thanks to the following individuals for their contributions to the technical contentof this commentary:Chris MarionGregory CahaninJeff TubbsDavid CooperRebecca QuinnDave CollinsJoann SurmarVickie LovellJames MilkeJohn ValiulisRichard WalkeMarcelo HirschlerDave AdamsEdward KeithZeno MartinPhillip SamblanetJason Thompson2012 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE COMMENTARYiii

The loads specified herein have been establishedthrough research and service performance of buildingsand structures. The application of these loads andadherence to the serviceability criteria will enhance theprotection of life and property. The earthquake loads,wind loads and snow loads in this chapter are based onthe 2010 edition of ASCE 7. The earthquake criteria andSECTION 1601GENERAL1601.1 Scope. The provisions of this chapter shall govern thestructural design of buildings, structures and portions thereofregulated by this code. While a significant portion of Chapter 16 is dedicatedto the determination of minimum design loads, it alsoincludes other important criteria that impact thedesign of structures, such as the permitted designmethodologies, as well as the combinations of designloads used to establish the required minimumstrength of structural members. Unless stated otherwise, the criteria found in this chapter are applicableto all buildings and structures. See Chapter 34 forapplication of these requirements to alterations, additions or repairs to existing structures.ASCE 7 load requirements are based on the NationalEarthquake Hazards Reduction Program’s (NEHRP)Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulations forNew Buildings and other Structures (FEMA 450). TheNEHRP provisions were prepared by the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) for the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency (FEMA).PurposeThe purpose of this chapter is to prescribe minimumstructural loading requirements for use in the designand construction of buildings and structures with theintent to minimize hazard to life and improve the occupancy capability of essential facilities after a designlevel event or occurrence.DEAD LOADS.DESIGN STRENGTH.DIAPHRAGM.Diaphragm, blocked.Diaphragm boundary.Diaphragm chord.Diaphragm flexible.Diaphragm, rigid.DURATION OF LOAD.ESSENTIAL FACILITIES.FABRIC PARTITION.FACTORED LOAD.HELIPAD.SECTION 1602DEFINITIONS AND NOTATIONS1602.1 Definitions.

These notations are used to refer to specific nominalloads that are determined in this chapter for use inthe load combinations in Section 1605: D is the nominal dead load determined in Section 1606. Also see the definition of “Dead load.” Di is the weight of ice. See the ASCE 7 provisions referenced in Section 1614. Earthquake load effect, E, in Section 12.4.2 ofASCE 7 includes the effects of the horizontalload, Eh, as well as a vertical component, E, Ehis the product of the redundancy factor, ρ, andQE, the effects of horizontal earthquake forces.E„ accounts for vertical acceleration due toearthquake ground motion, taken as 0.2SDSD.16-2Note that its magnitude is not intended to represent a total vertical response, since that is notlikely to coincide with the maximum horizontalresponse. It is essentially a portion of the deadload, D, that is added in “additive” load combinations or subtracted in “counteractive” load combinations. The term SDS, design spectral response acceleration at short periods, isexplained in the commentary to Section1613.3.4.For example, when this expression is used in thealternative allowable stress design load combinationsof Section 1605.3.2 that include earthquake loadeffects the resulting combinations are as follows:Equation 16-21D L S E/1.4 (1 0.143SDs)D L S ρQE/1.4Equation 16-220.9D E/1.4 (0.9 - 0.143SDs)D ρQE/1.4Earthquake design criteria is provided in Section1613, which, in turn, references the relevant ASCE 7provisions for computation of the earthquake loadeffects. While these loads are necessary for establishing the required strength, the computed forcesapproximate the expected deformations under thedesign earthquake ground motions and are notapplied to a structure in an actual earthquake. F refers to the nominal load due to fluids having“well defined pressures and maximum heights.”Unlike most other nominal loads, there is nocode section governing the determination offluid loads. Also note that F includes a verticalcomponent (fluid weight), as well as a horizontalcomponent (lateral pressure). Fa is used to refer to the flood load that is determined under Chapter 5 of ASCE 7. Note that Fais not explicitly included under other loads listedfor the alternative ASD combination in Section1605.3.2. H is used to refer to the nominal load resultingfrom lateral soil pressure, lateral pressure ofground water or the lateral pressure of bulkmaterials. Section 1610 specifies minimumrequirements for lateral soil loads. Note thatthere are not specific provisions for the determination of load resulting from the lateral pressureof bulk materials. L in the nominal live load determined in accordance with Section 1607 (also see the definitionof “Live load”). In addition to floor live loads, itincludes roof live loads that exceed the limit onLr. Lr represents nominal roof live loads up to 20psf (0.96 N/m2). R is the nominal rain load determined in accordance with Section 1611.2012 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE COMMENTARY

This is a preview of "ICC IBC-Vol2-20012 C.". Click here to purchase the full version from the ANSI store.STRUCTURAL DESIGN S is the nominal snow load determined in accordance with Section 1608. T is used to refer to self-straining forces resulting from contraction or expansion due to temperature change, shrinkage, moisture change orcreep, as well as movement due to differentialsettlement. A thermal gradient at an exterior wallis an example of a structural element wherethese self-straining forces can affect the design.Unlike most other nominal loads, there is nocode section governing the determination ofself-straining forces. T is not included directly inthe load combinations, but reference to it isfound in Sections 1605.2.1 and 1605.3.1.2. Vasd is the term used to refer to nominal designwind speeds that are determined in Section1609.3.1. Vult is the term used to refer to the mapped windspeeds in order to differentiate them from thenominal design wind speeds. W is the strength-level wind load determined inaccordance with Section 1609. Wi is the wind-on-ice loading. See the ASCE 7provisions referenced in Section 1614.SECTION 1603CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS1603.1 General. Construction documents shall show the size,section and relative locations of structural members withfloor levels, column centers and offsets dimensioned. Thedesign loads and other information pertinent to the structuraldesign required by Sections 1603.1.1 through 1603.1.9 shallbe indicated on the construction documents.Exception: Construction documents for buildings constructed in accordance with the conventional light-frameconstruction provisions of Section 2308 shall indicate thefollowing structural design information:1. Floor and roof live loads.2. Ground snow load, Pg.3. Ultimate design wind speed, Vult, (3-second gust),miles per hour (mph) (km/hr) and nominal designwind speed, Vasd, as determined in accordance withSection 1609.3.1 and wind exposure.4. Seismic design category and site class.5. Flood design data, if located in flood hazard areasestablished in Section 1612.3.6. Design load-bearing values of soils. The term “construction documents” is defined inChapter 2. It is commonly used to refer to calculations, drawings and specifications but it includesother data that is required to indicate compliance withthe code as described in Section 107. The purpose ofthis section is to specifically require the design professional to provide the building official with theappropriate structural details, criteria and design load2012 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE COMMENTARYdata for verifying compliance with the provisions ofthis chapter. Note that additional structural information and specific submittal documents may also berequired to be incorporated by Chapters 17 through23.The construction documents are required to contain sufficient detail for the building official to performplan review and field inspection, as well as for construction activity. Dimensions indicated on architectural drawings are not required to be duplicated onthe structural drawings and vice versa. The designloads, to be indicated by the design professional onthe construction documents, are to be consistent withthe loads used in the structural calculations. Note thatthe loads are not required to be on the constructiondrawings but must be included within the constructiondocuments in a manner such that the design loadsare clear. The building official is to compare the loadson the construction documents with the applicableminimum required loads as specified by this chapter.The inclusion of the load design information is anindication that the structure has been designed forthe loads required by the code. It should be emphasized that these requirements for construction documents are applicable regardless of the involvement ofa registered design professional, which is regulatedby the applicable state’s licensing laws. The exception provides a less extensive list of structural data tobe indicated for buildings constructed in accordancewith the conventional wood-frame provisions of Section 2308. This is appropriate in view of the prescriptive nature of these requirements.1603.1.1 Floor live load. The uniformly distributed, concentrated and impact floor live load used in the design shall beindicated for floor areas. Use of live load reduction in accordance with Section 1607.10 shall be indicated for each typeof live load used in the design. The purpose of the requirement in this section is toprovide information for the building official to facilitatethe plan review process. The floor live loads, whichare indicated on the construction documents by thedesign professional, are required to meet or exceedthe loads in Section 1607. Any live load reductionstaken are also to be indicated.1603.1.2 Roof live load. The roof live load used in the designshall be indicated for roof areas (Section 1607.12). This section provides information allowing the building official to facilitate the plan review process. Theroof live loads, indicated on the construction documents by the design professional, are required tomeet or exceed the loads in Section 1607.12.1603.1.3 Roof snow load data.

The wind load design basis, indicated on the construction documents (design drawings or specifications) by the design professional, providesinformation allowing the building official to facilitatethe plan review process. All five of the indicated itemsare to be on the submitted construction documents.Each of the indicated items is an important parameterin the determination of the wind resistance that isrequired in the building framework. The building official should verify that the information is on the construction documents during the plan review process.The correctness of the listed items is the responsibility of the owner or the owner’s design professional.1603.1.5 Earthquake design data. The following information related to seismic loads shall be shown, regardless ofwhether seismic loads govern the design of the lateral forceresisting system of the structure:1. Risk category.2. Seismic importance factor, Ie.3. Mapped spectral response acceleration parameters, SSand S1.4. Site class.5. Design spectral response acceleration parameters, SDSand SD1.6. Seismic design category.7. Basic seismic force-resisting system(s).16-410. Response modification coefficient(s), R.11. Analysis procedure used. The earthquake load design basis, indicated on theconstruction documents by the design professional,provides information that allows the building official tofacilitate the plan review process. All buildings,except those indicated in the exceptions to Section1613.1, are to be designed for earthquake effects.The earthquake design data for a specific building arerequired to meet or exceed the minimum requirements established by Section 1613.1603.1.6 Geotechnical information. The design load-bearing values of soils shall be shown on the construction documents. Load-bearing values for soils must be documented sothat the foundation design can be verified.1603.1.7 Flood design data. For buildings located in wholeor in part in flood hazard areas as established in Section1612.3, the documentation pertaining to design, if required inSection 1612.5, shall be included and the following information, referenced to the datum on the community’s FloodInsurance Rate Map (FIRM), shall be shown, regardless ofwhether flood loads govern the design of the building:1. In flood hazard areas not subject to high-velocity waveaction, the elevation of the proposed lowest floor,including the basement.2. In flood hazard areas not subject to high-velocity waveaction, the elevation to which any nonresidential building will be dry flood proofed.3. In flood hazard areas subject to high-velocity waveaction, the proposed elevation of the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member of the lowest floor,including the basement. The flood hazard elevation information to be shownon the construction documents by the registereddesign professional provides information that allowsthe building official to facilitate the plan review process. By providing the design documentationrequired in Section 1612.5 and by citing the specifiedflood information, the registered design professionalis indicating that the building was designed in accordance with the flood hazard requirements in Section1612. If any portion of a building is in a flood hazardarea, then the building must meet the correspondingflood requirements.Depending on the nature of the designated floodhazard area, certain elevation requirements are to bemet. In flood hazard areas not subject to high-velocitywave action (commonly called A/AE zones), the lowest floor of all buildings and structures, or the elevation to which nonresidential buildings are dryfloodproofed, is to be located at or above the elevation specified in Section 1612.4 (which referencesASCE 24). In flood hazard areas subject to high2012 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE COMMENTARY

These elevations are the main factor used indetermining flood insurance premium rates. Constructing a building or structure with its lowest floor(or dry floodproofing) below the required elevation willresult in significantly higher flood insurance premiumsfor the building owner.1603.1.8 Special loads. Special loads that are applicable tothe design of the building, structure or portions thereof shallbe indicated along with the specified section of this code thataddresses the special loading condition. Indication of special loads on the construction documents by the design professional provides information that allows the building official to facilitate theplan review process.
