The
Latest Issue of Keynotes - "Communication During
Construction" Everything
we do throughout the day could not be accomplished without some form
of communication, whether it is one way (e.g. radio and
television) or two-way (e.g. email and conversations).
Communication is a key element of daily living, and the construction
process is no exception.

The Latest Issue of
The Code Corner - "Elevators" One
hundred and sixty years ago, Elisha Otis invented the first braking
mechanism for the elevator, which made vertical travel within a
building feasible and safe. A little over forty years later, the
gearless traction elevator was developed, which allowed movement in
buildings of significant height. Thus, along with the advent of
inexpensive materials and advanced engineering and construction
methods, the automatic elevator became a pivotal step that led to
the surge of high-rise construction in the United States. Since its
introduction, the elevator has seen numerous advancements, but its
purpose remains the same: moving people between floors of
multi-story buildings efficiently and safely.
Like other systems within a building,
elevators are regulated by the building code. In the
International Building Code (IBC), Chapter 30 establishes the
primary criteria for elevators, while other sections of the IBC
supplement the primary criteria with special provisions, such as
requirements for accessible means of egress, elevator lobbies, and
shaft enclosures for hoistways.
