Can anyone inform me on what a code compliance chart is and how they are used? Is there any information on the web that would be helpful? Thanks in advance.
you can buy these at a hardware store...the publisher, codecheck.com, also publishes ones for plumbing, electrical, and etc...is that what you're looking for?
it's formatted like a check list...and organized by construction/inspection phase...the book uses simplified language and has ben franklin cartoons that explain the code visually...they use ben franklin as a character because according to the introduction, ben franklin pretty much poineered the american building code...
also, it's not big and heavy so you can put it in your binder or whatever you carry...it's 8-1/2 x 11...it's great to have on your desk while you're drawing for quick code reference or at the jobsite...
i browse through it once in a while even if i'm not looking for a certain code just to learn about things like holddowns or whatever...
Chicago has a code matrix which I got off of their DCAP website a long time ago (and have recycled it since) - which is only helpful if you're working in chicago, or just learning and getting familiar with the terminology.
I've seen the codecheck book - its pretty nice & concise - but I've already post-it tabbed my IRC & IBC codebooks. Otherwise I'd recommend it.
the city of chicago has freakin' long url's. when you are there, search for "code Matrix" - i just save things as I find them, too much stuff moves around in there.
