Historical Building Codes 3

[ajpapa]

I am looking for a copy of the 1987 BOCA National Building Code. Most specifically, I am looking for the "Structural Loads" chapter of the code. Does anybody know where I might be able to obtain a copy of this?

Best regards,
Tony

Nice site...
I found the 1952 UBC there that I need next month.
Best wishes and many pink stars to you in the new year.

msquared48,

The website you recommend indicates that it is free to use, yet they want a credit card on file to authorize use of the site. That doesn't sense to me, especially in this modern era of digital theft.

 

[msquared48]

True, but they do provide a contact number for questions.

Questions? Comments?
Give us a call at 1-877-717-3330


If you are concerned about the site, give them a call before registering... You could also call the BBB too to see if there are any complaints.

Mike McCann,

I did and get the "All circuits are busy right now" message. I googled them and saw a few bad reviews from users being charged after reading that they won't be charged. I think it's too risky to use if they want your credit card. At least I am not going to give them my credit card. Thanks anyway.

Best regards,
Tony

Thanks for the heads-up.

I have access to a 1990 copy, not sure if that helps.

mijowe,

Unfortunately, no. I need the 1987 version. Thanks for your offer.

You may have to resort to Amazon...

Thanks again Mike. Unfortunately, I tried that already. There are no copies available new or used on Amazon. I checked ebay as well.

 

[msquared48]

I wonder if JAE has a copy?

Not a pdf, but maybe this will help with BOCA

Ive come across this site before and also have given it the big flick.

How ridiculous asking for a credit card number when they claim its a free site.

Wouldn't use it even if it turns out to be a legit site.

Ok, I'm convinced, I'll find my 1952 UBC elsewhere.... Thx for the research and heads up!

I have it in my office at home in the boneyard bookshelf of old codes. Let me know if no other option arises.

 

[ajpapa]

jimzpe,
Please let me know if you are interested in selling it or at least a copy of the chapter on "Structural Loads".
