Seismic Loads: Guide to the Seismic Load Provisions of ASCE 7-16
provides clear, authoritative explanations of the seismic design
provisions contained in Minimum Design Loads and Associated
Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-16. When
used with the standard commentary, provided as a separate volume in
ASCE 7-16, Seismic Loads assists structural engineers in applying
the latest thinking in seismic design of new building structures.
Authors Charney, Heausler, and Marshall present numerous detailed
examples within the main 30 chapters of Seismic Loads. The examples
help navigate structural engineers through the process of assessing
conditions, including identifying occupancy, importance, and
seismic design categories; determining the seismic requirements;
and selecting a structural system. Topics include building
irregularities, structural analysis, lateral system forces, load
factors, drift, and P-delta effects. Major updates within the guide
include An expanded introduction that provides a description of the
history of the development of the ASCE 7 seismic provisions and how
the provisions are updated on a 6-year cycle; Expanded examples of
the use of Equivalent Lateral Force Analysis, Modal Response
Spectrum Analysis, and Linear Response History Analysis, examples
that utilize the same 8-story building; New examples covering
Chapter 12 (complete seismic analysis of a simple building),
Chapter 13 (nonstructural components), and Chapter 15 (nonbuilding
structures); and An expanded set of "Frequently Asked Questions,"
divided into topics of General Issues, Structural Design, and
Structural Analysis Seismic Loads is an essential companion to the
standard ASCE/SEI 7-16 for all engineers, architects, and
construction professionals who work on buildings in seismically
active locations.
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

target=_blank>Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other
Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-05. With clear, concise language,
Seismic Loads illustrates key concepts and guides structural
engineers in applying the most current thinking in this rapidly
changing discipline to 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. This book is an
essential supplement to Standard ASCE/SEI 7-05 for all engineers,
architects, and construction professionals who work on projects in
seismically active locations. About the Author Finley A. Charney,
Ph.D., P.E., is an associate professor of civil engineering at
Virginia Polytechnic and State University and president of Advanced
Structural Concepts in Blacksburg, Virginia.
