Welcome to the Engineering Building Science Community of Interest!  Our Community exists as a meeting place for ICC members who share a common interest in:

• Information on the International Building Code (IBC) with focus on topics of interest such as structural design (load combinations, dead loads, live loads, snow loads, wind loads, soil lateral loads, rain loads, flood loads and earthquake loads).
• Tips and techniques that others have encountered or addressed as it relates to working with alternative materials, design and methods of construction.
• Sharing with others information about local, state or national issues related to soils and foundations; concrete; aluminum; masonry; steel; wood; glass and glazing; and gypsum board and plaster.
• Other related topics that are of interest.

As a member of our Community, you will have opportunities to:

• Monitor and participate in robust discussions on topics of professional interest
• Network and develop professional contacts
• Conveniently access relevant news, information, and resources 

We invite you to join us; by sharing your knowledge, experience, and insights as we all learn and grow—both individually and as a community.
