ASCE 7 is the US standard for identifying minimum design loads for
buildings and other structures. 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, 2010 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 7-10,
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.
