Revised March 1998. A single-source, State-specific, user friendly book, containing code standards adopted by the State of Pennsylvania.
It utilizes text and full-page graphics to help clarify complicated and oftentimes confusing issues with the Americans with Disabilities Act code requirements.
From the Author
My intention with this book was to take out the time consuming and difficult task of gleaning information from hard to understand code books.
I concentrated on dividing a building, facility and its surrounding environment into as many distinct and separate parts as possible. By putting the scoping provisions in one area of the book and the details of a building, facility or surrounding environment into a Survey Form format I think that I have accomplished my intention.
An improvement that I have made over other code books is that when I refer to a code number excerpt located elsewhere in the book, I not only mention what Survey Form or place it is located, I give the page number or numbers to look for. I use newly drawn, full-page graphics that have inches side by side with their metric conversions. When these diagrams are referred to throughout the book, I not only mention the diagram number but also the page it is located on.
I stay as current as possible with prospective code changes, thereby offering the most current code book possible.
