Note: Purchasers of the first and second printings of this standard can download the errata and Supplement 1. This title is not available for download by the chapter. Structural engineers, architects, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes will find the structural load requirements essential to their practice. Many of the load provisions are substantially adopted by reference in the International Building Code and the NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code.
Standard ASCE/SEI 7 is an integral part of building codes in the United States. In addition, the seismic commentary has been expanded and completely revised. The third printing of Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10 incorporates errata and includes Supplement 1. In addition, the standard includes a detailed Commentary with explanatory and supplementary information designed to assist building code committees and regulatory authorities. The snow, live, and atmospheric icing provisions are updated as well. The standard contains new ultimate event wind maps with corresponding reductions in load factors so that the loads are not affected and updates the seismic loads with new risk-targeted seismic maps. This standard, a revision of ASCE/SEI 7-05, offers a complete update and reorganization of the wind load provisions, expanding them from one chapter to six. Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-10, provides requirements for general structural design and includes means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, earthquake, and wind loads, as well as their combinations, which are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. Prepared by the Committee on Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE
