Seismic Loads: Guide to the Seismic Load Provisions
of ASCE 7-05 provides authoritative explanations of the seismic provisions
offered in Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI
7-05. With clear, concise language Seismic Loads illustrates the key concepts
and guides structural engineers in applying the most current thinking in this
rapidly changing discipline into the design of new structures. The book offers
more than 20 detailed examples that analyze specific provisions of the standard
and demonstrate the application of the provision in evaluating the seismic
loading requirements for building structures. The examples guide structural
engineers through the process of assessing conditions such as: identifying
occupancy, importance, and seismic design categories, selecting a structural
system, and analyzing the seismic requirements. Topics include building
irregularities, structural analysis, system forces, and load factors, as well
as drift and P-delta effects. Seismic Loads includes a frequently asked
questions section and three appendixes with supplementary material.
