The 2015 IBC SEAOC Structural/Seismic Design Manual provides a step-by-step approach to applying the structural provisions of the 2015 International Building Code® and referenced standards. Volume 2 contains code application examples of light-frame, tilt-up and masonry construction. Diaphragm flexibility, center of mass, collectors and chords, deflection and anchorage are discussed through examples. In and out-of-plane seismic loads are analyzed.

Volume 2 includes sample structures of wood, cold-formed steel, tilt-up concrete and masonry, including:

• Four-Story Wood Light-Frame Hotel
• Cold-formed Steel Light-frame Three-story Apartment on Concrete Podium
• Tilt-up Building with Plan Irregularities
