Popis:	Both the Uniform Building Code (UBC) and the International Building Code (IBC) -- to some degree or another -- have poorly worded provisions that are unnecessarily complex, are ambiguous, are not justifiable, and/or are overly restrictive. This paper presents just a few of these provisions, the reported justification for these provisions, and suggestions to simplify and improve the codes. Provisions discussed in this paper include the redundancy/reliability factor, the vertical earthquake, minimum base shear and drift limits, and accidental torsion.
