The Vibration Isolation and Seismic Control Manufacturers Association (VISCMA) has published a paper online on "Understanding the 2000 IBC Code on Architectural Components and Equipment Restraint."
The intent of this document is to offer some simplified guidance to understanding the 2000 IBC Code and how it applies to nonstructural components. The article is available on the VISCMA Web site at www.viscma.com under "Articles of Interest."
