•Building codes are generally intended to be applied by architects, engineers, constructors, and are also used for various purpose by safety inspectors, environmental specialist, subcontractors, and others.

•Designers use building code standards out of substantial reference books during design.

1. International Building Code (IBC):
•IBC is a model building code developed by the International Code Council (ICC). It has been adopted throughout most of the United State.

•A large portion of IBC deals with fire prevention. It differs from the related International Fire Code in that the IBC addresses fire prevention in regard to construction and design and the fire codeaddresses fire prevention in regard to the operation of a completed and occupied building.

•UBC was first enacted by the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) at the sixth Annual Business Meeting held in Phoenix- Arizona October 18-21,1927.

•Revised editions of this code have been published since that time at approximate three years intervals. New editions incorporate changes approved since that last edition.

•UBC was metricated in 1994 edition. The metric conversions are provided in the parenthesis following the English units.•Formula are also provided with metric equivalents. Metric equivalent formulas immediately follow the English formula and denoted by “For SI:” preceding the metric equivalent.
