ASCE 24-14: Flood Resistant Design and Construction, 2014
ASCE 24-14: Flood Resistant Design and Construction provides minimum requirements for the planning, design, and construction of buildings in flood-prone areas. Referenced by the International Building Code (IBC) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), this standard supports floodplain management regulations and promotes resilience through engineering best practices.
Highlights:
- Defines Flood Design Class (1–4) to guide risk-based design criteria
- Specifies elevation requirements based on flood hazard zones, building type, and occupancy
- Includes wet and dry floodproofing methods for commercial and residential applications
- Updates flood opening requirements including engineered vent systems and louvers
- Provides structural design standards for Coastal A Zones and coastal high hazard areas
- Identifies acceptable flood damage-resistant materials and construction techniques
- Covers tanks, utilities, egress, garages, and parking structures in flood-prone zones
- Offers guidance for substantial improvements and retrofitting of existing buildings
- Coordinates with ASCE 7 and NFIP regulations to ensure code consistency and compliance
Who It’s For:
Essential for civil engineers, architects, code officials, and builders involved in flood zone development, permitting, and compliance with FEMA, IBC, and local floodplain standards.

- Specifies requirements for shell, bottom, roof, nozzle components, and structural supports
- Provides detailed material selection guidance and limits for plates, flanges, and welding consumables
- Defines procedures for welding, welder qualification, and weld inspection
- Includes standards for erection, hydrostatic testing, tolerances, and repair methods
- Annexes address specialized applications:
- Seismic design (Annex E)
- Floating roofs (Annexes C and H)
- Aluminum and stainless steel tanks (Annexes AL and S)
- Elevated temperature service (Annex M)
- Leak detection, under-bottom connections (Annexes I and O)
- API Monogram licensing (Annex Y)
Who It’s For:
A critical reference for storage tank engineers, fabricators, inspectors, and facility operators involved in tank design, procurement, fabrication, and field erection in the oil, gas, chemical, and industrial sectors.

2021 International Plumbing Code – IPC-2021
The 2021 International Plumbing Code® (IPC) establishes minimum standards for the design, installation, and inspection of plumbing systems in all building types—except one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses up to three stories, which are covered under the IRC. This code supports both prescriptive and performance-based approaches and promotes innovation in materials and design.
Highlights:
- Permits multiple-user all-gender toilet facilities
- Adds two approved methods for sewer relining and rehabilitation
- Allows rooftop solar panels to be installed over vent terminals
- Recognizes CSA B805/ICC 805 for rainwater harvesting system design
- Integrates accessibility provisions from ICC A117.1-2017
- Covers potable and nonpotable water, sanitary and storm drainage, venting, water heaters, and graywater systems
- Structured into prescriptive chapters with appendices and accessibility references
- Fully aligned with the 2021 I-Codes for unified plumbing regulation and enforcement
Who It’s For:
Plumbing engineers, contractors, inspectors, and code officials working on compliant, modern plumbing systems in commercial and multifamily buildings.
