Uniform Building Code Compliance Manual
- Book Review,
by Scott Parish
From Book News, Inc.
Presented in primarily checklist form, this book is a companion resource to the Uniform Building Code itself. It reorganizes the code requirements so they conform more readily with the progression of a building, and it provides a means for documenting compliance with the code. The book is divided into five sections: building classification; fire-resistive construction; means of egress; fire protection systems; and structural forces. A CD-ROM is included so that only specific files need be reproduced. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
