2007 CBC/2006 IBC/ASCE7.05

[ashleybrock51107]

I know that the 2007 CBC is based on the 2006 IBC, and I've heard that it also references ACSE7-05 a lot. I have access to the 2006 IBC, but not the CBC, can anyone tell me what the corresponding chapters of the IBC that I will need as reference? Or should I just invest in the CBC? Is the ASCE 7-05 worth getting?

Thanks in advance!

2007 CBC: Unless you are taking the SE, it's not required...the 06 IBC should be fine.

ASCE 7-05: Is a must have if you are taking Structural in the afternoon...and for the second day it's a must.

Hope this helps...and as always ymmv.

I found the ASCE 7 VERY useful for the Seismic Priciples exam. If you have to invest in one, I would invest in the ASCE book.
