This course introduces the 2023 edition of the ICC 500 Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm shelters which is referenced by the 2024 I-Codes. The 2023 ICC 500 provides minimum design and construction requirements for storm shelters that provide a safe refuge from storms producing high winds, hurricanes, and tornadoes. It contains design requirements for the main wind-resisting structural system and components and cladding. It also provides basic occupant life safety and health requirements including means of egress, lighting, sanitation, ventilation, fire safety, and floor space. This course begins by providing an overview of the code provisions found within the 2024 IBC that establish when and where storm shelters are required. This course then goes on to provide an overview of the ICC 500 with discussions on some of its key provisions and requirements. Goals & Objectives: This course increases awareness on when and where storm shelters are required along with the requirements found within the ICC 500-23 regarding the minimum design and construction of storm shelters.
