June 2004 Progress Report on the Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster. Volume 1
One of the objectives of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Investigation of the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster is to determine the procedures and practices that were used in the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the WTC buildings. (For other objectives refer to http://wtc.nist.gov.) Since WTC 1, 2, and 7 were designed according to the New York City Building Code, it is important to understand how this code compared with contemporaneous building codes. This appendix summarizes the structural and fire provisions of the 1968 New York City Building Code and compares them with a number of building codes that existed when WTC 1, 2, and 7 were designed, as well as the 2001 edition of the New York City Building Code.
