Notes: "This is the eighth edition fo Seismic design principles for the California special civil seismic exam, previously published as Seismic Design of building structures. It has been extensively rewritten to conform to the 1997 Uniform Building Code as corrected by ICBO errata through March 2001, referred to in this book as 'UBC-97'.  The California special civil seismic PE exam is based on the 2001 California Building Code (CBC). Volume II of the CBC contains the same material and section numbers as the UBC-97 volumes I and II. The seismic design provisions of UBC-97 are considerably different from those in previous codes, most notably in the use of strenth theory rather than working stress theory"--Pref.
