An interesting question. Some people will believe that the building code, as printed, is a fully coordinated document--completely logical and without inconsistencies.
Wrong.
Although it is a carefully reviewed document developed by many experienced people from a wide field of building industry-related professions, the building code is still written by people and interpreted by people. As the saying goes, “Nobody’s perfect”; which is one of the reasons why every three years a new building code edition is published followed by a supplement in the interim.
There are a couple of areas in the 2006 edition of the International Building Code that I’ve encountered on a few occasions that illustrate how a building code can be illogical and inconsistent.
