The new ASCE Standard 7-05 Standard (including Supplement No.1)
provides requirements for general structural design and includes
means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain,
atmospheric ice, and earthquake loads, and their combinations that
are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. A
detailed commentary containing explanatory and supplementary
information to assist users of ASCE 7-05 is included. This ASCE
7-05 edition is a complete revision of ASCE 7-02. The new Standard
includes revised and significantly reorganized provisions for
seismic design of structures, as well as revisions in the
provisions for determining live, flood, wind, snow, and atmospheric
ice loads. The inclusion of Supplement No. 1 into ASCE 7-05 ensures
that there is full and complete coordination between the 2006
International Building Code and ASCE 7-05. The updates which
comprised Supplement No. 1 are seamlessly integrated into the 7-05
volume, and are not available anywhere else. ASCE 7-05 is an
integral part of the building codes of the United States. The
earthquake load provisions in ASCE 7-05 are substantially adopted
by reference in the 2006 International Building Code and the 2006
NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code. Numerous other
provisions of all other ASCE 7-05 sections are also adopted by
reference by both model building codes including the provisions for
calculating wind loads and snow loads. Structural engineers,
architects, and those engaged in preparing and administering local
building codes will find the structural load requirements essential
to their practice.
