The reference section contains several sources for understanding the theoretical basis of the ASCE 7 seismic loading provisions. Note that this commentary was fi rst available in the third printing of ASCE 7.

These examples are much more detailed than those provided in this Guide and concentrate on the structural design aspects of earthquake engineering, rather than just the loads and analysis side, which is the focus of the Guide. The briefs can be downloaded at no charge from www. How to Use the Guide The Guide is organized into a series of individual examples. This means that, in some cases, information is provided in the beginning of the example that requires some substantial calculations, but these calculations are not shown.

For instance, in the example on drift and P-delta effects Example 19 , the details for computing the lateral forces used in the analysis are not provided, and insuffi cient information is provided for the reader to back-calculate these forces. However, reference is made to other examples in the Guide where similar calculations e.

The reader should always be able to follow and reproduce all new numbers not part of the given information that are generated in the example. All such items are referred to directly, without specifi c reference to ASCE 7.

For example, the text may state that the distribution of forces along the height of the structure are listed in Table G and illustrated in Fig. In this citation, the number 12 is the example number, and the number after the dash is the sequence number of the item that is, third table or fi fth fi gure. Computational Units All examples in the Guide are developed in the U.

All other units e. A unit conversion table is provided. Appendices and Frequently Asked Questions In addition to the 22 individual examples, the Guide contains three appendices. The fi rst appendix provides interpolation tables that simplify the process of calculating some of the values e. The second and third appendices explain the use of web-based utilities for determining ground motion parameters and for selection of ground motion records for response history analysis.

In some cases, this requires an interpretation of ASCE 7, especially when the standard is ambiguous. User Comments Users are requested to notify the author of any ambiguities or errors that are found in this Guide. Suggestions for improvement or additions are welcomed and will be included in future versions of the Guide. Wind Loads Author : Kishor C. Mehta, William L. Coulbourne, in ASCE 7 covers many load types, of which wind is one.

The purpose of this book is to provide structural and architectural engineers with the practical state-of-the-art knowledge and tools needed for designing and retrofitting buildings for wind loads. The book will also cover wind-induced loss estimation. This new edition include a guide to the thoroughly revised, version of the ASCE 7 Standard provisions for wind loads; incorporate major advances achieved in recent years in the design of tall buildings for wind; present material on retrofitting and loss estimation; and improve the presentation of the material to increase its usefulness to structural engineers.

Key features: New focus on tall buildings helps make the analysis and design guidance easier and less complex. Covers the new simplified design methods of ASCE , guiding designers to clearly understand the spirit and letter of the provisions and use the design methods with confidence and ease. Includes new coverage of retrofitting for wind load resistance and loss estimation from hurricane winds. Thoroughly revised and updated to conform with current practice and research.

Snow Loads Author : Michael J. Mirroring the organization of the seismic chapters in ASCE , this handy reference briefly summarizes each change to the seismic provisions that might affect actual practice or enforcement and immediately follows up with the precise wording of the change. The impact of each update is explained in clear, straightforward language accompanied by diagrams, examples, and color photographs and illustrations to enrich the reader s understanding.

Significant Changes to the Seismic Load Provisions of ASCE An Illustrated Guide translates the changes to the seismic provisions of ASCE Standard into a form readily accessible by structural engineers, architects, contractors, building officials and inspectors, and allied professionals. Ghosh is president, Susan Dowty is vice president and Prabuddha Dasgupta is engineering manager of S.

Ghosh Associates Inc. All three are active in development and interpretation of U. Many elements of the completed structure that provide strength, stiffness, stability, or continuity may not be present during construction. It addresses partially completed structures as well as temporary support and access structures used during construction.
