- General provisions for bridge design, structural analysis, and performance
- Criteria for superstructures, substructures, abutments, culverts, and piers
- Service load and load factor design methods for concrete, steel, timber, and prestressed components
- Requirements for foundations, retaining structures, and soil-structure interaction
- Specifications addressing load distribution, fatigue, seismic considerations, and strength evaluation
- Commentary and notes incorporating interim revisions through 2003
- References to supporting standards from AASHTO, ASTM, AWS, and others
- Applicable to rehabilitation, legacy design validation, and maintenance planning for non-LRFD bridges
Who It’s For:
A critical reference for bridge engineers, transportation officials, and contractors working with legacy structures or evaluating designs developed before the transition to LRFD.

2021 International Fire Code – IFC-2021
The 2021 International Fire Code® (IFC) establishes minimum fire safety standards for new and existing buildings, facilities, and operations. It covers fire prevention, life safety, hazardous materials, and responder protection, making it essential for jurisdictions managing building and fire code enforcement. Fully coordinated with the 2021 I-Codes, it supports a comprehensive regulatory framework.
Highlights:
- Adds fire safety provisions for industrial and non-industrial 3D printing (additive manufacturing)
- Regulates artificial combustible vegetation on rooftops and near buildings
- Expands emergency responder communication system requirements to newer technologies
- Clarifies sprinkler mandates for storage and sale of upholstered furniture and mattresses
- Requires sprinklers in open parking garages that exceed defined fire area thresholds
- Updates standards for installation and removal of energy storage systems (ESS)
- Introduces dedicated chapter for safe storage of distilled spirits and wines in barrels or casks
- Reinforces construction site fire safety with clear roles and planning protocols
Who It’s For:
Fire marshals, building officials, safety consultants, and facility managers responsible for fire code compliance and enforcement.
