The 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) governs the design of detached single-family homes and townhomes across the country — and buildings located in high seismic zones face a distinct set of additional requirements. This webinar, Part four of a five-part series, takes a comprehensive look at those seismic provisions, covering the limitations and detailing requirements that apply in these regions. Whether you're new to seismic design or looking to sharpen your knowledge of the IRC, this session offers practical, code-focused guidance.
