2023 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE - TEST PROTOCOLS FOR HIGH VELOCITY HURRICANE ZONES, 8TH EDITION

The 2023 Florida Building Code – Test Protocols for High Velocity Hurricane Zones, 8th Edition, published under the authority of the Florida Building Commission (FBC), serves as a mandatory reference for contractors, engineers, and inspectors operating in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. This volume defines the structural testing requirements for building materials and systems exposed to high wind pressures, impact resistance, and cyclic loading in hurricane-prone regions. Approved by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and referenced in the Florida Building Code (FBC) family, it provides critical guidelines for compliance with standards such as TAS 201, TAS 202, and TAS 203. The manual is essential for candidates preparing for Florida’s General, Building, and Roofing Contractor exams through 1 Exam Prep, as it aligns directly with CILB-approved contractor licensing examinations and supports mastery of testing protocols within high-velocity wind zones.
