Seismic and wind loading standards for emergency standby power systems

Posted on January 01, 2018

The International Building Code (IBC) is a comprehensive set of building standards that was first proposed in 1997 by the International Code Council (ICC) and adopted in 2000. The IBC sought to harmonize the many national, state and local codes that govern the design of structures to eliminate duplicative or conflicting standards and, therefore, make compliance more uniform.
