a complementry book ab ubc97
i am looking for a complementry book which makes it easier to
understand ubc 97.
i have found following three books. i have to choose one from them. i
woud like to know your opinion on them.
1st book
uniform building code: code applications manual (hardcover)
product details
publisher: intl code council; ringbound edition (may 1997)
language: english
i am familair with items #1 & #2 above for the 91 ubc.  if you are looking for an understanding of the structural provisions i think item #2 would be better.
probably the best person to ask is some one who now works for ibc who use to work for ubc.
