ASCE/SEI 7 is a nationally adopted loading standard for the analysis and design of buildings and other structures. The 2016 edition of this consensus standard has been adopted into the 2018 International Building Code. This seminar will provide an overview of the significant changes in the 2016 edition, including key updates in the rain, snow, seismic, and wind chapters. Snow chapter updates include new state snow load maps, revised provisions for roof projections and parapets, and snow drift. The seismic provisions include updates to Chapter 11, 12, 13, and 15, new ground motion maps, new site factors, changes to nonstructural components, nonbuilding structures, and new diaphragm procedures. The wind provisions also include new wind load maps, updated GCp values for components and cladding, changes for rooftop solar panels, canopies, silos and tanks, and new commentary on tornado design.
Attendees will leave with a better understanding of these and more. Attendees will also see a demonstration of the new ASCE 7 Hazard Tool and hear a brief review of the ASCE/SEI standard development process.
