Structural LoadDetermination 2018 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-16

by David A. Fanella, Ph.D., S.E., P.E., F.ASCE

This practical guide shows, step by step, how to apply theprovisions of the 2018 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-16 to accurately determine structuralloads. The book contains information engineers need to design buildings thatwill withstand the forces of gravity, occupancy, and environmental stress. Youwill get design examples, flowcharts, and load diagrams that illustrate complexload provisions.

Structural Load Determination Under 2018 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-16opens with an introduction to structural loads and a discussion of therelationship between the IBC and ASCE 7 standards. From there, the bookexplains the proper application of allowable stress design (ASD), loadresistance factor design (LRFD), and seismic load combinations. Subsequentchapters cover occupancy, roof, rain, snow, ice, wind, seismic, and tsunamiloads. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the proper application of loadprovisions within the scope of everyday practice.
